Only You Hold The Key

"Only You Hold The Key"
11x14 mixed media on cavas board
I've been working here and there on this little bird for a while now. The idea came to me a few months ago and I have finally finished it. The picture is not the best but I really like my birdie and the message it sends. I have learned that only you have the power to get yourself out of the little "cages" we put ourselves into and this is my interpretation of that lesson. So whatever little cage you find yourself in today, I hope you remember this little bird and find hope in that, somewhere in you is the way out. Go ahead...fly!

    I have always been fascinated by birds and think they're great art subjects. I'ev done one call set your soul free with birds and cage myself. I think "only u hold the key" is such an empowering message to tell the world, will remember this and carry on the day. Thanks for being such an inspiring artist!

    Your birdie is so cute. It's not easy to paint such a cute little bird. I have a hard time doing it.
    Thanks for sharing.
