Pineing for the Seasons Sounds

I tell Barney my rescue dog that, 'it's just mom playin' the computer' when I play the song bird sounds on the web page, he stands at the door like he wants out to bark them away, but its a few weeks till the song birds come out.  When I ask him to come pose for a picture he goes into another room. He's not handsome. When I paint birds I usually end up knowing a bit about them or doing a mini study about it's life style and so on. The Whip-poor-will is a night bird and sings a dusk, liken to an owl. An early risers bird.

The bird I really pine for as fall goes into winter months is the 'morning dove'

Just to play the sound on the computer brings hope and comfort, something like comfort food does and warm sunshine. Paintings to follow.
