More birds

…or ducks to be exact.


And after I made these quick sketches, I felt guilty. Just before I drew these, I actually ate a sandwich filled with duck livers/foie gras for lunch. I got it from a local butcher near my office.

    Guilt is a terrible thing isn’t it? The bridge is lovely. Makes me want to write a haiku. Fortunately, I have some self control and won’t inflict that on you.

    Beautiful sketches… like a story book, that bridge reminds me of fables and children’s tales!

    Thank you very much everyone!
    Janey: I am actually not sure what a Haiku is.

    I love these drawings! The use of ink plus drawing pencil is very striking, especially in the bridge drawing.

    A haiku is a short 3 line poem, 5 syllables, 7 and then 5. It’s an ancient japanese form of poetry. It’s an idea you can express in one breath, just the bare essentials of an image to convey a thought. The poems are very beautiful and your drawings remind me of them. If you google Haiku you’ll find lots of examples.
