New painting, oil on canvas, 12 X 12 inches
Bluebird, Moon and Two Hummingbirds in Tangled Tapestry
Detail, Hummingbird
Detail, Bluebird Looking Up at Moon
Most of my paintings sort of emerge. That is, I have an imprecise idea in mind but as I lay pigment to brush to canvas the image gets its own. Which I try not to interrupt. My single most pronounced connect is to the tapestries of the hauntingly beautiful Cloisers in Manhattan way uptown which I haven’t seen in ages. But the memory lingers in me and I’m guessing it presented itself in some way here. There’s a large blue bird in the uppermost right of center watching the moon. Midway left, two hummingbirds, one headed south, the other to the right, in both cases a flurry inside a fine tangled bush, lush blossoms filled with sustenance.
The original oil painting is still in the Hawks Perch Gallery, $135 including tax and state-side shipping (email sparhawk@barbarasparhawk.com). Prints, Cards, Stickers, Posters available at my RedBubble site, & PayPal.

PAINTINGS, PEN & INKS, GREETING CARDS, USED BOOKS, HAND PAINTED SIGNS AT THE GALLERY……..Thanks for the visit.
Love the ‘tangled tapestry’ reference, as that’s exactly what I see, so much life, throbbing, pulsating, awaiting the vision of an artist like yourself. Bravo!
Yes, lots going on somehow. I planned to stop a dozen times along the way but felt it kept needing …something.
So I kept somethinging at it, and the vine was making it work, and the brighter flower bells, which began as crimson.
Thanks so much.
More than stunning! The web of life; life captured, not just survival but inspiration, also. Bravo! Nola
What beautiful words, my writing, photographing friend. Thank you, Nola, I had not thought of it that way at all, you give me inspiration. Always do.
