"A Little Bird Told Me So."
This whimsical painting is based on an old expression that isn't often heard anymore. While toying with ideas in my sketchbook, my mind wanders and remembers such sayings. Of course this idiomatic expression means that you wish to keep the source of your information secret.
The wild colours in the background are muted by soft pastel shades in the foreground. The girl's wild hair shows her to be a free spirit, much like the bird on her shoulder. Is she about to to grab the bird?
Will she keep the secret? Her little smile is very intriguing.
Available. ($75.00 CAD plus shipping) Please contact me if interested. Matching piece to be published next week.
This is beautiful Louise. I love how her hair floats up and off the canvas. I see her as embracing her heart. The whole painting feels magical to me.
I am glad you like it and have shared your thoughts with me. Thank you Catherine.
