Blackbird

Title: “Blackbird”
Medium:acrylic on canvas
Size:36″X72″

Story: The lyrics to this song  are very beautiful to me. For example:
“Into the Light of the Dark Black Night”.   The combination of words
are so unexpected.

When I was a little boy, I would go for walks across the fields in
Scotland and delight in collecting big fistfuls  of black feathers. They
seemed so black and so perfectly designed in their beauty.

This song stirs deep past emotions and memories for me. I would walk for
miles with my two brothers and sister across the green hills, far from
our little stone cottage that sat in the middle of the fields. Sometimes
we would be racing the last light of the day to get home before darkness
settled in.
