I woke up in the middle of the night feeling black birds in my hair. The noise of flapping wings and movement felt so real... I tried to escape the feeling, but it followed me through the day. Finally, I gave up, and put it to the paper in the best way I could.
My big moleskine journal is the best place to catch anything I want to express.
I didn't paint it on the easel (pictured above), just wanted to see how it looks. I am so extremely in love with my easel that I have to see how anything looks on it :-) I painted it on the table (as seen bellow) using only a brown and white.
Black birds are gone. Colorful ones are soon to come.
oooooh! I love it!

ReplyDeleteThat's the best you could make out of this feeling!
I am sorry for your nightmare but OH! not sorry about the beautiful outcome. Now I'm just trying to figure out how I can paint swirling grown children flying around and inside my head.
