"My Feathered Friends," 16" x 16"

"My Feathered Friends," 16" x 16"Acrylic on Canvas. The sound of birds stops the noise in my mind. Carly Simon When I think of spring, the sweet sounds of birds chirping first comes to mind, even before the flowers start blooming. Their happy chirps, trills and sweet antics never fail to bring a sense of calmness and a smile to my face. My hope is that My Feathered Friends also brings you that same feeling of joy and tranquility to your home. Halifax based acrylic artist Raquel Roth

Things are blooming all around us and even within us

Hues of gold and iridescent violet-green

The looseness of the brush strokes and observing the imperfections are in a sense perfect… like poetry on a canvas

The artist captures the contrast between nature’s delicate beauty and dramatic atmosphere with expressive brushstrokes and rich color

The Solari series is about the hard things we will experience throughout our lives… in the paintings you will notice the contrast of dark/light and the sad drooping heads

I always find it interesting…as an artist and creator that I like some of my pieces more than others
