The lamp hanging overhead made it perfect! I can&#8217;t even begin to describe the rest of the home, which was basically untouched since the 1930&#8217;s or 40&#8217;s. Minks were in the closet. Luggage made a night stand for dusty books. And there were little bird chachkes stashed away in cupboards and antique blue glass bottles on windowsills. <\/p>\n<p>\nAnd today, my father gave me three feathers he found laying in the snow. Look carefully and you will see a little spot of red blood (a hawk I presume).<\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahblankstudios.com\/images\/blog\/090112_1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>\nCan anyone tell me which bird these feathers are from?! I have a few others of these kind and would love to know!<\/p>\n<p>\nMy swan portrait is currently half-complete. It&#8217;s resting (drying so I can add some glazes in the background and other little details). Today I decided to paint her a sister as well! She&#8217;s sketched out and is ready to transfer to another panel. The bulk of the second portrait will have to be completed over the weekend. Thanks much for all your comments on my other painting and sketches. I hope to reply tonight!<br \/>\nGood night all!<\/p>\n<p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We happened to visit the most magnificant, quaint (and very abandoned) summer cottage.
