Unexpected Visitor, Chirping and Sparrow

Sparrow
encaustic on birch 6x6
Today I had the most amazing visitor - a little sparrow was hopping around in my living room.  I was in the kitchen and heard a chirping sound.  I came around the corner to find a sweet little sparrow hopping about.  She was chirping away and happy as could be and didn't seem to have a care in the world.  I opened the patio door to help her to find her way back outside.  She was in no hurry to leave and hopped under chairs and around and under the tables.  She never took flight, just hopped and sang.  I followed around and gently talked to her encouraging her to see the open door and her freedom.   She eventually made her way to the door and flew back to her life outside.  So sweet. 
Happy Friday everyone!

    Aww Marji that's a gorgeous painting the colours are stunning, your encaustic birds just keep getting better and how lovely you had a real life model. That's so funny she was so relaxed, usually they get so flustered if they get inside. I love this!
