there are many things to be said about blackbirds. In general when one thinks of blackbirds, just as blackcats, they think of misfortune.

Im finding in this life, not everything is as it seems. And what you think you never wanted , could be the very thing you always needed.

you can find the brightest light in the darkest places.

When we are Birdless

" flowerless in the spring, and we can not sing" ~ The Innocence Mission

Birds have become very symbolic to me. If you find a bird or a bird reference in one of my paintings, it's either part of a sequence or story, and may contain secrets and clues to them. Some may be impossible for anyone to figure out, but I know they are there.

I named these after the Innocence Mission song, though Im not quite sure what the song is about.

I do know its lonely being birdless.

I like how they use bird references a lot in their songs, I see them also as a sequence, and I can tell birds are very symbolic to them as well.

I really didnt like painting all those bars.

This is one painting I am still pleased with.

Though I wish I could have gotten a better image of it.
