...and that when your wings are broken you just have to learn to fly again - differently. Life now and then "wounds" us - this is part of life and we would lie to ourselves if we believed that we can always avoid being wounded. Living successfully means to deal with a damage done, accept it and learn to work your way around it or simply change your old behaviour...or simply the way you fly.
I wrote the song's lyrics along the branches so they look like ants climbing the trees bark.
Materials used: brown kraft paper, acrylic colours, brayer, designer paper, Decou-page matte, distress markers, stencil, old book pages
Branches and leaves were cut free hand, shading was done with distress markers over decou-page glue.
Why is it that birds touch our very souls so easily? Some say it is because they can get so much closer to heaven than we can (and without a window pane from a plane between them and the very air). But I believe it is their ability to sing the most beautiful songs. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we communicated through music instead of spoken words? (lol....just imagine getting a ticket from a police officer and he sings it to you instead of bark it in your face ;)
Leonardo da Vinci watched birds flight very closely and did the most wonderful drawings and studies. He was highly fascinated by the way they move their wings and tails to steer. And even though we have airplanes now and are able to travel the skies too, we still admire how these fragile creatures inhabit the sky.
