Paint, Pen and Ink: Three Blackbirds in the Garden of the Universe







Three Blackbirds break through the canvas
perched on rocks..
...they know my Soul
and I too
recognize them..


An Iris appears...rising up from the earth





Color begins to flow
green vapors and mists of creation encircle me








Almost done..a Work in Progress...
a mixture of paint..pen and ink..
*
Three Healing Blackbirds and Three Irises
All carry powers and gifts..
Nature has brought healing to my life
many times..
The Blackbirds called me
to the window
and the flowers pulled me out 
into the Sun
*

The Wounded Blackbird in the front
is limping
and knows to go toward the Flowers
for healing and regeneration
inside the Garden of the Universe
*
*The Blue and White bird brings Transformation and Creation

*The Green winged bird brings Harmony and Balance

*and the Purple-Lavender bird
brings the Mystical and Magical Energy
*
*The Three Purple Irises
Bring Bliss, Joy and Blessings

I dedicate this painting
to the realm of nature
and the three healing blackbirds..
*
Thankyou my winged friends
for Leading me into
the
Garden of the Universe




In you I see All Colors...every single ray of magic
shimmering within the Blackest Wings
~Victoria~

Your painting of the blackbirds and irises glows with beautiful colors, Victoria. I especially love the artistic way you have made the feathers, curvy and so realistic. This is really gorgeous. Have a great weekend. Enjoy the sun (if it's out where you are).

...air borne travellers ~ seeking refuge ~ bouyed along ~ by alchemical processes ~ invisible strands ~ of energy...
...then ~ plucked with the gentlest of care ~ by muse ~ and ~ sung ~ thru' ~ the brushes and pallette ~ of your table...
...earth mama ~ sweetens ~ the atmosphere ~ and sends yoU! ~ her tears ~ encapsulated by the iris...
...instinctive knowledge ~ vibrates ~ with the angelic messanger ~ hidden beneath the veil of mysteries ~ revealed ~ with subtle nuance ~ upon the canvas ~ blessed be ~ dear kindred heart!...

so lovely... I really like those irises... but your line work is perfect as always and the birds look like they are quivering...xx

Hybrid J said...

Loving your birds as I've been wanting to draw/paint a bird for a long time, just didn't dare to try it yet!

And I've also always love pen and ink work, it was the first thing I try on for drawing.

Love to see the finished piece! ;)

brandi said...

What a splendid and powerful painting! I love watching your work evolve.
The composition and the colors are fascinating.
Happy weekend Victoria, Hugs.

Janine said...

Your blackbirds are wonderful.
For some reason, I find it so difficult to capture the spirit of a bird.
Obviously, you don´t have that problem.
Great work
happy weekend my friend

This may be a new favourite - each bird has its own distinct personality. You are so clever.

I want to be friends with the first bird. As you said farther down your post I recognize them too, I felt that from the first picture.
Their personalities shine through, so wise, so knowing.
What size is that painting?
