Jabobs sheep and my flock

I love drawing and painting speckled, streaked and spotted birds and animals...they are so awesome and special.

They often remind me of Jacob's sheep. The speckled, dotted, striped and black ones, 
that he had to work hard for.  In their culture those were the misfits the unworthy ones.

(If you read the story in Gen.30. Laban was abusing and cheating on his wages so many times.
The imperfect lambs were probably not worthy, for the yearly sacrificial lambs had to be without spot and wrinkle.Those sheep had the wrong DNA, not perfect.
These could not be sold because of that on the temple market.)

I love my spotted, speckled birds and striped birds and animals..I always see them as my flock.

Maybe because we are living more and more in a fake perfect world. 
Everything has to be photo-shopped, look good, perfect and even now with a make-over with AI to make it even more glamorous and glorious.
The without spot and wrinkle world. 
It feels to me artificial...as the word says. Artificial Intelligence. Its not the real deal.

It's faked, and manipulated in order to give you the illusion of perfection.

Of course perfection is not bad in itself...it only is misused so much for the wrong reasons.
