My thanks to Gypsy Blue Rose for starting this project. Since this is meant to be instructional and educational in nature, I thought I'd share some of my thinking as I prepared my contribution. I'm hardly an expert, but I'm hoping we all learn together and offering our process may shed some light we can gain from together. Gypsy's piece which I'm trying to connect to depicted a stark night scene with an almost eerie emptiness to it. I thought about that and an owl came to mind, perched in a tree in winter seeking prey in the silent manner it does. At the same time a mouse hauls a thawed berry through the snow to it's family, food when food is rare. The owl spots the mouse. Of course the mouse is unaware. In haiku the reader is supposed to participate and read into the piece at least half of what takes place. So, the owl capturing the mouse, the family never seeing its provider, all of that is left to the reader to contemplate. So, there's my thinking. I hope you enjoy. Now, one of YOU reads this and writes something connected. :))

I'm not the best at the writing on the artwork thang, but I'm working on it. LOL
