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.

    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

    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!

    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.

    Gorgeous!!!!!!!! xoxoxoxo

    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
