30 Paintings Challenge Day 9: The Littlest Bird

The Littlest Bird
Copyright 2016 Hirschten
Oil on Canvas 16" x 20"

This Painting is inspired by William Morris' fabric design, "The Strawberry Thief."  

Here the bird is placed in the form of a window as if he is honored as divine creature.  

Perhaps more small things should be.

The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs

Well, it's times like these, I feel so small and wild

But I'm not too blue to fly

-From a song by the Be Good Tanyas
