Inspired by recent political events, and realizing that no matter what our personal views are, we all share the beautiful gift of ‘Freedom’ in our wonderful country. If you look closely, you will see that this little birdie learned about freedom by reading about it in the newspaper that lines the floor of his cage.

I have revisited my little birdcages. It is fun to go back and pull from past pieces. I wonder if I will ever tire of little birdies, but if I had to guess right now, I’d say no. They symbolize so much, along with nests and eggs. They really speak to my mother’s heart and embody the things in life that I find myself facing. I have just listed ‘Freedom’ in my etsy shop. I am now going to go and exercise my right to ‘the pursuit of happiness’ and start another painting:-)
