I like to begin my paintings, on paper or canvas, by writing a few thoughts down in pencil.
As anyone who knows me, I have a great deal of affinity for Sparrows. I think of them as my spirit animal (if you are wondering why, reading the "Sparrow" section of my blog will tell you) xx
I feel a great deal of comfort when they are around me.
Not surprisingly, sparrows will be tucked into lots of paintings! Sparrows and nests seem to be a common theme ;-)
Even though multiple layers of paint will cover up the words that are written, they are forever romantically intertwined creating a visual poetry. A little hidden treasure.
Watching these little sparrows in our garden was such an inspiration and I could not help but think that thankfully, the sparrows did not agree with "two's company and three's a crowd". All were welcome here; the branch was large enough for all.
The little poem under the layers of |Trio reads:
Three little birds
sitting side by side
singing such a joyful tune
with happiness, with pride.
Some may say that two is company
but three, well that's a crowd
which only makes each little sparrow
sing their song clearer and more loud!
