The story
The meadowlark had spent three hours practicing its greeting in the mirror before dawn. It now waited by the fence, ready to welcome any passerby with the exact degree of warmth prescribed by the Avian Etiquette Handbook, Section 4.7: ‘Politeness must be visible, but never enthusiastic.’ A squirrel paused, blinked, and hurried away. The meadowlark did not adjust its expression. It considered this a success.
The brief
A meadowlark stands rigidly on a sunlit wooden fence post, head tilted slightly forward, beak open in a forced smile, feathers neatly arranged, surrounded by wildflowers under a pale blue sky with soft, even light casting no shadows.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
