Old Love (Prints)
Inspired by the Midwest, this painting of two Tree Swallows encompasses some nuances of where I’m from. Many of my paintings start with a song and this is no different. Forever and Ever, Amen by Randy Travis brings me right back to my school bus in elementary school. Whether we liked it or not, we were listening to country. Although, most kids did.
Combining birds and the human face is a product of two of my interests-birding and portraits. I wanted to demonstrate how I felt about my surroundings. It’s hard to show how you feel. I’ve turned to the surreal world here to convey the feeling with visual silliness.
The Instagram account EarthsWorld has a fantastic display of the human face in it’s candid form. I sourced it for the facial features of each bird and the background and birds are from photos I took while birding.
