Fall is here and along with it comes the wonderful magic of great flocks of birds in the sky. Florida is the destination for many species, this time of year.Some winged visitors are heading even further south, but resting along the way. I love the sight!
My fascination with blackbirds is shared by artists all over the world. In the western part of the country they are revered... a good luck symbol. I have been including them in my artwork for many years. I feel a connection with birds in general. They are one of my favorite of God's creation. Blackbirds are cocky. I love their attitude, their strut!
"Blackbird Sun", is a combination of acrylic and collage using a selection of Japanese papers (washi).
Don't forget to look upward this time of year!
