Respite

10 x 10 x 1.5 inches
Acrylic on panel

Content. Fulfilled. Beauty. 

Respite portrays a Black Throated Sparrow in a moment of resting contentedly. Birds, to me, are symbolic of freedom. The air and the wind are free, and I love to see birds soar through that unencumbered space. Small birds seem so delicate and yet are resilient.

Respite captures a moment of quiet peace in nature. 

This painting was included in the 99th Annual Spring Salon at the Springville Museum of Art 2023.
