A Poem & A Painting: Crowned Bird No. 1
Oct 27 2014 · 0 comments · A Poem & A Painting, My Paintings ·0
This week’s painting was inspired by none other than dish ware! I purchased four dessert plates and the next thing I know I am painting the birds and gilding their crowns! Indeed, this is the first in a series of paintings.
I loved this snippet from the Carl Sandburg poem Purple Martins and thought it went well with the painting…
IF we were such and so, the same as these,
maybe we too would be slingers and sliders,
tumbling half over in the water mirrors,
tumbling half over at the horse heads of the sun,
tumbling our purple numbers.
Twirl on, you and your satin blue.
Be water birds, be air birds.
Be these purple tumblers you are.
Crowned Bird No. 1, 6″ x 6″, oil on board, $150. Please contact me to purchase.
Please check back for the next in this series and let me know what you think!
