Starry, Starry Flight: Spoonbill

Starry, Starry Flight: Spoonbill Hi there: I don't know if you recognize the reference and some of you will say "of course", but it refers to Starry, starry night from Van Gogh. It has been said that he was painting from his point of view, some people say that he had epileptic seizures and this is what he remembers from the. There are many interpretations. No one will ever know and that is the intrinsic value of it. You must explore the art for art’s sake. The spoonbill is a unique bird in that it is not a swan, a crane nor a flamingo and instead of an elegant ending of the bill there is a spoon. For the spoonbill it is an efficient tool, but for others it might look clumsy and odd. For me, it is amazing and unique. The plumage alone is dynamic and brilliant, stark against the surroundings of marshy, swampy, mangrove areas, with pink. The bill is efficient and purposeful. The reason for the starry night style background is to honor the unique animal with a unique artist, both equally beautiful if you look closely. I also thought blue not quite right for the pink.... warmer, kinder, and gentler. Honor your uniqueness. Robin
