The story
The sunbittern had been told, by a very serious parrot who read Vogue, that elegance required stillness and a certain tension in the shoulders. So it stood, wings half-lifted, waiting for the light to hit just right — not too bold, not too shy — while the dust settled on the chaise longue and the clock ticked past tea time. It had not moved in seventeen minutes. The parrot, meanwhile, had fallen asleep on the mirror, dreaming of sequins.
The brief
A sunbittern stands rigidly on a gilded perch in a dimly lit Victorian parlor, one wing slightly raised as if caught mid-glamour pose, its iridescent feathers catching the weak afternoon light filtering through lace curtains, casting faint emerald and amber patterns on the faded floral wallpaper.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
