The story
The greenfinch had outlived three renovations, two marriages, and a brief fad for avocado-colored appliances. It did not sing, nor did it molt. It simply was, a small green constant in a room that changed its wallpaper every leap year. The cat, long gone, had once stared at it for seventeen minutes before losing interest. The finch blinked. The clock ticked. Somewhere, a teapot whistled, though no one was in the kitchen.
The brief
A greenfinch perches calmly on a windowsill, head tilted, one leg tucked, eyes half-lidded, bathed in late afternoon light that gilds the dust motes and the chipped blue paint of the frame, feathers unruffled despite the clock on the wall showing 3:17 AM.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
