art everyday - 11

Today Ive made a bit of progress on this piece that I previously posted about here and here..... I added a bit more texture to the tree, inked in the cage, and gave my little birdie some color. 

 
I wish you could see it in this scan, but I used a bit of iridescent gold in the tree and a bit on the birdie....truly magical in real life :)


I have a phrase for this that came to me the other night, and it literally brought me to tears with the truth that the words held for me. Now my hope is to just get the phrasing right so it makes sense. I tend to over state and over complicate....but this one needs to be simple. So right now I'm pondering that....

Hope your day is filled with many open doors and wide open skies....

    It's beautiful, Kelley. I love your earthly colors with the blue. Can't wait to see the "words". Isn't it funny how things just come to you?

    The words will come, I am sure of that. I just love the bird cages in your work. I have it in the back of my mind to try a bird cage drawing of some sort. You inspire me, thanks.
