Oil on pva glue primed paper.

Thanks for your understanding while I sort out a tangled nest of emotions.

This is a moment where I feel fortunate to have so many random hobbies. Ceramics, Painting, Running, Dabbling in Piano, and Crocheting are all things that require one to put your phone down, step away from the news, and use both hands to do. While meditation has never been something that comes naturally to me, all of those things quiet my mind and help me find flow. This is my subtle elbow in your side to join in on the fun if you haven’t yet.

This little bird is a recent painting, and is one that I think/hope strikes a chord for those of us clinging onto hope and the last bit of light in a dark space.
