purple swallow

As I promised earlier... I'm posting my new paintings as they are done. This week I'm really busy with finishing paintings....and don't have much time to sit at the computer, but I thought I post this fast.
The bird was inspired by a Hungarian children's poem which is one of my favourites. I've tried to find a translated version of the poem, but I couldn't :( and I'm really not good at translating poems. So I guess you just all need to learn Hungarian ;)
So here's the poem:

Nemes Nagy Agnes: Lila Fecske

Piros dróton ült a fecske,
piros dróton lila folt,
mert a fecske lila volt.
Ült a dróton egymagában,
ibolyaszín kiskabátban,
lila volt a háta, szárnya,
földre hullott lila árnya,
gyufa-vékony, lila lábon
álldogált a piros ágon,
lila volt a szeme csíkja
lila, mint a
lila tinta.

Április volt, jött az este,
meg sem mozdult az a fecske.
Április volt, április,
én hagytam ott végül is.
Lila csőr,
lila toll,
most is ott ül valahol
