Listening to The Minstrel of the Dawn by Gordon Lightfoot while painting a Blue jay on wood


This is one of the Blue jays that visits our backyard!



This is my first painting for the year 2017, 
my second painting on wood 
(the first was The Birth of Jesus)



The Minstrel of the Dawn is a song from Gordon Lightfoot's 1970 album Sit Down Young Stranger which was later renamed to If You Could Read my Mind. 
(I've been listening to Gordon Lightfoot since the '70's 
and his music plays a vital part in my paintings!)
