Description
Details:
“Sing the Tunes without the Words” is an original oil painting on a 8×8 inch diameter circle canvas that is 1.5 inch deep. I have painted the sides, and the painting comes ready to hang in a wood floater frame with a champagne finish. I ship every painting out of Pass Christian, MS.
Please note: This painting is day 22 of my 2024 31 in 31 yearly practice. It will be available to ship out or for pick up on February 26th, 2024, after the run of the 31 in 31 gallery show.
Inspiration:
I know this is painfully trite, but I’m diving in anyway: Mondays are hard. My son nearly missed the bus as I threw all the previously chopped onions, peppers, garlic, celery, and beans into the crock pot, threw the dial on high and ran out the door. Red beans, like painting, take time.
I’m usually a day or two ahead in my 31 so that I can have my mornings for reflection, writing, and posting and my afternoons for taking knives to canvas. But everything I worked on over the weekend was just not there. More simmering required. Sans the delicious smell.
So after the kind bus driver waited patiently for my sweet little disheveled, half-jacketed, backpack open, scurrying eleven year old to board, I rushed to my studio and stared at a painting I’d started yesterday thinking maybe it, like Mondays, was a bit trite.
Do you even sing the tune without the words, bro?
I worked and reworked it a bit, gave this cardinal an Emily Dickinson halo as a sweet reminder of what my birds mean to me, trite or not.
“Hope” is the thing with feathers BY EMILY DICKINSON
“Hope” is the thing with feathers –
That perches in the soul –
And sings the tune without the words –
And never stops – at all –
And sweetest – in the Gale – is heard –
And sore must be the storm –
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm –
I’ve heard it in the chillest land –
And on the strangest Sea –
Yet – never – in Extremity,
It asked a crumb – of me.
