The Blue Flower - Pigeon & Puddle

This piece was inspired by an early dog walk, when we saw a group of pigeons staring intently into a puddle. This pigeon is deep in contemplation of life's mysteries (and his own reflection). But to keep things lighthearted, he is surrounded by lovely spring flowers and has proper rain boots.
