Rose-breasted Grosbeak

Rose-breasted Grosbeak

24"x20" oil pastel on canvas

I had fun with the texture with this one. And all the expression in the face. A wonderful bird!

High

Wake up to the world all around you
your heart and your spirit are free
accept your mistakes
don’t worry
try to live
try to breathe
try to be.

Find peace 
in the center of chaos
listen when you can’t find the words
swallow your pride 
tame your ego
make friends with the trees and the birds.

Fly high on the wings of your ancestors
grow up 
and find love
and find light
believe in the flip side of evil
seek some answers 
find the truth
do what’s right.

It was pure joy to navigate all the expression in this beautiful face. This painting won second place at the Mahoosuc Art Show in Bethel, Maine this year.
