She’s Your Soft Landing
Girl with long reddish brown hair, wearing a black dress, holding a black bird in her hand – figurative painting. Winter scene. Snow, and slate blue sky. This wintry vision I have in my head comes from a vivid memory I have of my Mom, and how she would tell me to stand outside in the snow with a tiny piece of bread on my hand. She said if I was quiet and still enough, a bird would land on me, and I would get to feed him. aw! How I wanted that to happen!! This is the tenth time I’ve painted this painting, and each time it comes out slightly different. All paintings have been sold, except this one of a girl wearing a masquerade mask.
This last photo shows what the painting might look like framed to help you visualize it. The frame isn’t included in the purchase of this painting. I don’t offer any framing services.

About: This painting has a feeling of isolation. Being alone with a bird with nothing but gray skies, and land. The colors are muted in this one. I wanted it to feel cold, like winter; yet, warm to the heart because of the close relationship you see between the girl and bird.
I finally edited the video so you can see me paint her. This is one of those paintings that took a few months to finish. I wasn’t working on it every day, but I kept getting stuck, and didn’t know how to proceed. That usually doesn’t happen to me because I like to paint a painting in one sitting, but for some reason I didn’t know what to do with this one.

This was such a fun painting to create. It’s one of my favorites so far from this 30 paintings in 30 days, and 29 Faces challenge. It came together so easily, and for some reason when that happens, I have a great fondness for the painting. The ones I have to work really hard on..eh. I don’t usually end up liking them at all. Every time I look at them, I’m reminded of all that work..all those hours, and hair pulling it took to get it where it is, and I find it hard to like the painting. Everything went very smoothly with this one, and I’m happy to say it’s a new favorite. 🙂
If you’d like to purchase this painting, it is available here. Or directly through me.
I want to wish a very Happy Birthday to my Aunt Jeanne, and my grandmother today. Gram is no longer with us, but this story is so special. My grandmother’s youngest daughter was born on her birthday. Aww. :))) It makes me smile every time I think of it. Happy happy birthday to two very special women in my life!!
