Sparrows in the Rain (Original Art)




Sparrows in the Rain
16" x 40"
Sold

This original abstract painting was done with paints in deep and bright blues, yellows and a touch of red to hint at the flowers in the grass.  It was done on a on a 16" x 40" x 1.5" canvas using Gesso, Varnish, Gloss Gel, Acrylic, Oils and Alcohol. 

Finding out I was expecting our unexpected second child this painting was born from an internal cleansing rain.  Uncertain and a fear apprehensive, her light felt as strong as sparrows, who are small, but powerful birds.  I found reassurance knowing her arrival was a symbol of joy, simplicity and friendship.  

The work has been sealed to help protect against fading. Edges are painted, see photos. Comes ready to hang with a sawtooth hook.

Forged by Fire

I have a different relationship with three in the morning these days.  I see it now, not as the haunting, the tormentor.

Three in the morning is the stolen hour. The sacred hour.  A time of fire that has forged me into someone new.

How many times have I rocked this beautiful child at three am? Tonight she lays relieved and relaxed in my arms,  breathing easily, safely in my arms at three am.  I think about three mornings when her tummy was tight with bubbles and half her present length.  I remember her unfocused eyes, startled and lonely.

Tonight, the moment I scooped her up, she became peaceful, cuddled in my lap.

It is not his job to believe in me.  It's isn't anyone's really.  I alone hold that responsibility.

Isn't that beautiful, powerful?  My thoughts have been jumbled up for months, years, a paraglider's lines caught in the weeds on a steep hill.... and this aha moment tonight laid them out straight, clean and free.

Here by the light of the humidifier, smudged by my palm and clearer than anything I have ever written before.

Take these words as yours.
