Bach’s Birds

    Not pitiful – it is probably not nearly as clear as I hoped to make it. I’ve added some additional information that may help?

    Hi, Regina, I came across your blog searching for how to begin with pastels…found this cool painting….looks like Minuet in G….

    Yea, Beverly!!!! You win the musical bird prize! I’m so glad someone figured it out, so I don’t feel totally inept at this little puzzle. Are you old enough to remember the other song, circa 1965?
