Blob Birbs
“A bird is just a blob that has wings, a beak, a tail, and legs. I have never met a blob I couldn’t turn into a bird.” — Sophie Lucido Johnson

Watercolor-and-ink paintings of various watercolor blobs turned into birds. The blobs are multicolored and splotchy; bad paper quality has produced feathering and puddling which (editorializing coming) looks like markings. Birds are labeled A–M.
A. [Oblong round-edged yellow blob; one feather on head, dots for eyes; triangle beak; feathered legs and markings]: Chick, clearly.
B. [Squat orange blog with inked comb on head and feathered ruff]: Maybe belongs to A? Obviously a Rhode-Island Red!
C. [two green blobs each looking to left]: Clearly green parrots.
D. [Bright blue blob; bird is seen from back; wings out to the side; looks like it’s shrugging on a blue coat of feathers]: Elvis-bird. You see it, don’t you?
E. [Orange blob with weird wrist-smudged “tail.”] TRUMPBIRD OOPS
F. [Squat tan blob.] G. [Squarish blue blob] [F. & G. are facing each other. Two inked coffee cups between them.] F & G: Coffee-klatch birds.
H. [hot pink diagonal blob with convenient tail; eye is an upside down smile] Aloof pink bird.
