Scribbled Lives Week 43—Wings

I was thinking that having wings gives us control over the direction of our lives—wings let us soar to any destination we please. However, as we’ve experienced over the past year or so of COVID, having wings can be risky when the whirlwinds of chance carry us to wild places we never imagined. These days, I’m learning to go with the flow. 

My original idea for this response is nothing like the end result. Going with the flow, right? Also, after painting the seagull, I was stumped about text placement. This is the fifth option; not sure it’s the right one either. Placing the text too close felt like a graphic limitation on the seagull’s flight.
