The kids were saying goodnight to Daddy in his art room and I turned and noticed this picture. I was in awe of it. I love Chagall, but I had never taken notice of this particular painting before.
I believe I was so drawn to it because it made me think about Amira saying goodbye to John (aka Sophie) the Rooster.
Sophie had been the crowned chick of the brood, Amira loved her Sophie. The days passed and much love was given. Eventually, Sophie grew up and we soon realized that Sophie was not a lady. Amira renamed her John.
Although he pecked and chased a few times, Amira was ever dedicated to John the Rooster.
One day John woke up early and crowed. That afternoon, John was heading off to a new home. Amira was brave, cried and said her goodbyes.
This beautiful painting is Amira and John.
