Title: “Blackbird”<\/strong>
\nMedium:acrylic on canvas
\nSize:36″X72″<\/p>\n

Story: The lyrics to this song \u00a0are very beautiful to me. For example:
\n\u201cInto the Light of the Dark Black Night\u201d. \u00a0 The combination of words
\nare so unexpected.<\/p>\n

When I was a little boy, I would go for walks across the fields in
\nScotland and delight in collecting big fistfuls \u00a0of black feathers. They
\nseemed so black and so perfectly designed in their beauty.<\/p>\n

This song stirs deep past emotions and memories for me. I would walk for
\nmiles with my two brothers and sister across the green hills, far from
\nour little stone cottage that\u00a0sat\u00a0in the middle of the fields. Sometimes
\nwe would be racing the last light of the day to get home before darkness
\nsettled in.<\/p>\n
