I spy, with my eye,
A goldfinch, sweetly gilded.
Pure labour of love
Hand-painted, on my daughter’s living room wall. He seems to be looking Over his shoulder, rather wisely, I think. Join Paula in this week’s Thursday’s Special for a totally incredible look at the moon.

It is lovely, but are you sure it is a goldfinch? I always thought they had brightly coloured red heads and yellow on their wings? Oh, well it is still very beautiful. How nice to be able to paint murals on your own walls. She is a clever lass 🙂

She tells me it’s a goldfinch, Jude, and I’m clueless so I didn’t argue. 🙂 🙂
