#213 – Sprightly

This piece is a unique size and composition, and was completed as a commission. This painting features the inky silhouette of a bluebird, it’s wing and tail plumage facing the onlooker. The bird is positioned in a way that suggests it is about to take flight from the dainty branch it is perched on. The background is painted in soft, sweeping brush strokes to communicate flight and motion. Soft flowing linework allows your eye to travel the length of the canvas with ease. Soft blues and titanium white pigments provide a sense of calm and peace.
