A Bird in the Hand

                        18" x 24" Oil on Prepared Masonite

Sculptures, statues and statuettes are fascinating for me  whether in a park, in a garden, standing alone,  on a pedestal or on a table.   This little garden sculpture catching a late autumn afternoon sun was so appealing.  After much thought, the bright red cardinal seemed a perfect finishing touch.

At least for a moment, our still little girl has A BIRD IN THE HAND!

  2. A beautiful title for a beautiful painting Rosemary. I love how the light is hitting the statue. Adding the bird was perfect.

  3. Love this piece, Rosemary--the cardinal is a delightful touch, and made even more fitting with the little red flowers on the nearby winter bush. I have enjoyed browsing your recent posts and thank you for staying with your blog.
