A friend at work lost her father just before Christmas. One of the last things he said to her was that he saw birds in her eyes. As a Christian, she and I both thought about the holy spirit and think he might have seen a vision, just before leaving this earth. This was the inspiration for my painting.
I'm heading over to Sophia's to check out everyone's sketch! I hope you'll join me!

Oh I just love how this turned out! It has a little bit of a folk feel to me...I love the fact that you had a story when you did this piece too.
This just makes me happy!

I love it! She turned out wonderful and I loved the bird in her eye even before I read the story behind it, make the painting take on something special.
I really like your painting and lovely sentiment behind it!
This is really special. I love how this turned out for you. Her face is really serene too.
Debbie,

I love how you've interpreted the sad news into something hopeful and peaceful.

This has deep meaning fo r me as well. I see birds as direct conduits to the spirits os our loved ones and the heavens beyond. Across the world and centureid this has been so for countless civlizations...How sweet that her father was able to tell his daughter and she knew they were coming to brign him safely home. I LOVE yoru painting! I felt the story before i read your passge. beautiufl!
