growing something important
"I'm holding on to these treasures, nurturing them until they are ready to be born"
(are they actual baby birds? are they ideas? hope? courage? a new venture? she's not telling so you'll have to decide)
if you're into eccentric art, beautiful colors, eggs, or hard driven metaphors, this is for you!!
I painted this in 2024 when I was beginning to explore portraiture--my first dip into the "wild faces" collection. The bold colors are symbolic of all of the layers + depth and parts of us that no one ever sees. There is so much more to you than what is surface level.
This is an acrylic painting on sketchbook paper -9x12". These sketchbook paintings occasionally have extra marks on the page (front or back) that let you know they were painted by a real person in a sketchbook :)
please note I do my absolute best to make the photos match the real-life paintings, but it is a challenge with my vibrant color palette! Most of the time, paintings look much more vibrant in real life, but just be aware that there may be discrepancies between what you see on screen and the actual product.
