Connected with each of my paintings there is an "aha" moment,
a snippet of a story, or perhaps one single word
that sets the painting in motion.
that sets the painting in motion.
The story behind this first art installation arose from a recent morning as I watched ten cardinals--five males, five females--play outside the sunroom window. It was a rare sunny winter's morning for us in Western New York. And just as the surprise of sunshine on that particular morning lit my soul on fire, so it must have done the same for these cardinals.
They played. They chattered. They hopped and flitted. And they skimmed the rolling landscape like ruby-red bottle rockets. They made me happy. They gave me energy that morning,
and I wanted to capture what I saw in my mind's eye.
The final creation:
"Cardinal in Flight"
30" x 40"
acrylics on stretched canvas
That is awesome, Susie! It's a wonderful swoop of cardinal! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cynthia. I am so in love with the cardinals out here in Orchard Park. They just make me want to "fly". xoxox Susie
