AND MY BIRD CAN SING

STILL WATERS oil on canvas 36 x 24" available

Song For A Heron

Helen Davey, an Australian musician now living in Switzerland, composes and performs music in response to artworks that move her. I am so honored that she chose my painting, "Still Waters." It is now part of her new body of work, "Project 52, Sound-Paintings." That title says it all: a full year of once-a-week compositions inspired by different artists. Check it all out on her Facebook page, and on her Blog, and enjoy more of her music on Soundcloud.

As for my tri-colored heron, I was out with a camera stalking the natives, and he was patiently going about the business of breakfast. The sea and sky were indistinguishable in that still, overcast dawn. He kindly chose a handsome point of rock and stood stock still – not a feather out of place, not a blink of that reptilian eye. He shot out once, like lightning, then bolted the proceeds down that long, long neck. Then all was still once more.

Thank you, Helen, for the audio love, and for sharing your gifts. And as always, thanks to you all for reading my blog!
