Melodious March

I’m encouraged that spring in around the corner when I hear more and more birds at daybreak. They’re so loud they’re waking me up but also a joy to hear. Because birds and trees are on my mind with their melodious song, I’m contemplating reconfiguring some of our current images to maximize what we’ve already done and in the process, create more modern designs. Here are a few ideas I have in mind. I haven’t quite figured out the technology for getting them to work together but that will happen soon enough. In the meantime, here’s the creative process.

1) Using our Woodland Stream Stair Mural:

2) Just the outlines:

3) Then getting rid of the detail:

This image will be refined and other birds added and certain images removed. But now, to add more birds. These beautiful hand carved birds from the Gaman exhibit at the Smithsonian Museum of American Art have inspired me.

Here are a few abstract, outlined sketches to play with:

Well, I’m going to be busy in the next couple weeks but it’s nice to know that these birds’ melodies I hear are heralding spring and waking me to creative thoughts. It’s a melodious March, indeed!
