31 Days in December #5: A bird in the bush

This painting hangs in my kitchen, a reminder that six hands can be better than two.

A Bird in the Bush, RDK 2012

This painting is a compilation of three artists: Marianne Maksirisombat traded me use of our van for the base of the painting, an abstract in brown, grey, and cream. A Chinese printmaker, taking a class with April Richardson, befriended me and sent me the bird, painted on parchment. I blended them with acrylic paints, adding peacock feathers and berries.

Moravian Prayer: Jesus, you chose a life of poverty and obscurity. Grant us the strength to keep your example always in our hearts and minds, so we may despise the greed of this world and concentrate more on living our lives as you would have us do. Amen.
