Red Bird
9×12 pastel on Sennelier La carte paper
FEATURED IN THE SISTERHOOD, THE DIVINE FEMININE, AND FEMININE INTENT
Just something to go along with my Blackbird. Maybe I will do a whole series of women and birds. I think she captures that primal sacred feminine energy that red birds/cardinals symbolize.

AnitaInverarity
Stunning !! I love both these bird maidens, a series would be awesome xxx
MoonSpiral replied
Thankyou so much Anita. I am having a ball with these, I am thinking a series is coming :)
Lynsye Medalia
She is definitely all woman….no better word than primal, she looks so strong and fierce! Her hair almost looks like it’s glowing! Very cool!
MoonSpiral replied
Thanks Lynsye….you know me and my red hair obsession…lol.
stephanie allison
Very beautiful! I’m with Anita…i see a series forming! ♥
MoonSpiral replied
Thankyou Stephanie….I am already thinking about the next one ;)
Sarah ORourke
She is beautiful! Her eyes are just stunning… so strong, but she seems calm & serene at the same time :)
MoonSpiral replied
Thankyou so much for such a thoughtful and observant comment Sarah!!

Love your idea for a series. Go for it. She’s divine. Cardinals have such a sweet, baby-bird-type chirp that is so endearing to me. Her hair captures the colors of a cardinal beautifully.
MoonSpiral replied
Thankyou….okay should I just call you F.A., or how ‘bout Fae…I love faeries you know…haha. Thankyou for the sweet comment, I do love cardinals too!
Ming Myaskovsky
You are artistic and creative…if you feel like someone is stalking you that would be me. ;)
MoonSpiral replied
You are so funny, I think you have some of the wittiest comments around here….and the artistic and creative thing goes ditto back at you Ming!!

Tammy, I’ve been called “F.A.”, “Frannie”, Frannie Ann”, “Fran”, “France’Ann”; but you can call me “Fae”, if you like, and really confuse people. LOL. :P
I do want to add that I’d love to see your series (incl. “Blackbird”) in the Art Nouveau gallery too. The theme is there, even if not the exact style. But this is today, not the beginning of the last century; so our expression is going to be different. Your women do evoke that era of stylized hair and patterns, etc.
MoonSpiral replied
Thanks for explaining that Fran…I love that name by the way. I was a little confused, thinking it had to be the exact Art Nouveau style of the past.
Sally Omar
Gorgeous!!!!!!!! xoxoxoxo
MoonSpiral replied
Thankyou sooooo much Sally!!!!!!

As long as I’m co-host (of Art Nouveau and the Arts & Crafts Movement), helping out with the gallery, that’s the way I look at it, anyway. As artists, I think we naturally show an affinity for certain artists or styles; and so our work evokes them, even though we may not consciously consider it when painting. At the same time, re-treading another artist’s path should be purely educational; because we need to forge our own—which you have, of course.
Your work is completely recognizable as yours, Tammy. The spirit really comes through the eyes.
Okay, I’m off now. :D
