Forbearance
This painting of a Roseate Spoonbill was created after observing this beautiful bird at an injured bird sanctuary in Corpus Christi, TX. While there to heal before release back into the wild, I could not help thinking that this beautiful creature seemed so patient, with such a dignified sense of forebearance. Thus, the name.

Your talent is amazing, Carolyn; we share a love for these exquisite creatures and I can truly feel and see your tenderness toward them in this painting. While observing them, I have noticed an expression on their faces that looks like a gentle smile; they are extra special and I LOVE what you did here to depict the roseate spoonbill, one of my all time favorite birds.
Carolyn Staut replied
Thank you Bonnie. We are kindred spirits in the Spoonbill Appreciation Society. Maybe it is time to convince someone to create a Spoonbill Group? That would be awesome!

Just breathtaking!!!!! You are SUCH an inspiration … why do I do anything ANYTHING but continue to try to learn how to do this!!!!! Glorious delicacy with the fronds all around your sweet baby … but it’s the intricacy in the feathers that yanks us right in … then … for the final allure, the detail of the face and ooo that eye!!!!! I’m shaking my head and smiling at this delightful work of art!!!!!
