I Lift My Wings and Fly
A bird flew into the air just as I snapped the reference photo for this painting. I didn't realize the silhouette was there until I looked at the image back in my studio. Noticing the stars on the blue shirt and how they, along with the bird's shape, relate to the sky and what is "above," this seemed to me a message about following one's heart and dreams regardless of what circumstance or situation in life one happens to be in. Acrylic on canvas. (For zoom: place cursor over image.)
