You Bad Bird !

I was just doodling with my brush, no doubt inspired by the Mi Fu tie that I re-discovered amongst my pile of paper.  I was trying to do calligraphy ostensibly, but I was just going through the motions.  After all I didn't even have the right ink.

I noticed that my scribbling had permeated through the top paper to the second layer beneath it.  The blotches left on the second layer was interesting to me.  I could tell that they were characters of some sort but there wasn't enough information to fill in the voids to give them any meaning.

 

Sort of remind me of a half erased chalk board during my grade school years.  For some reason I thought of my "Fortune Birds" painting. 

The bird on the right is the teacher, trying to educate a bunch of subdued, disciplined pupils.   All except for the  one on the far left; the one that is distracted by something.

Ah that could have been me.  Bad Bird !!
