roosting

Here's a pattern that has been nesting in my brain for a while. I'm still toying with the colors. My preferred palette is usually dark muted autumn tones so it is difficult to work with colors that are so quirky and upbeat. The drawing doesn't work in maroon and olive. Believe me, I tried.
I wonder what that says about my brain…drawn to comfortable darkness but drawing with silly light heartedness.

And everything I draw seems to belong on flannel jammies. Maybe it's because of my grandkids. Wouldn't you love a pair of footie pjs with these roosting birds?
