After dabbling in roosters for awhile, here’s the last one, painted from an original photo this time, rather than a copy of watercolors I found on Pinterest. I call him “Mr. Sunset.”
For comparison, here’s the original photo:
Look at that rooster and tell me there’s not a God who made him. What a glorious creature!
Rising up early, he speaks to you,
Rising up early, he teaches you
“Cock-a-doodle-doo!”
Which, if you are listening rightly, means
”Amend your ways and your doings,
And obey the voice of the LORD your God.”
He speaks before the sunrise,
He embodies a living sunset.
What more do you need?
I’ve been reading in the book of Jeremiah these days, so since I’ve put Jeremiah’s words in his mouth, I further name him “Jeremiah Sunset.”
In my continuing quest to create a nice watercolor border for quotes, I submit the following:
It’s an improvement on the first one (which dissolved into a chaos of misbegotten leaves) and the second one (which didn’t look at all like what I had envisioned), but I hope I will continue to improve with practice.
Thank you for your kind attentions to my blog posts.
This post will dissolve into a chaos of words in the morning.
