Perceptions of the Lady in the Birdcage

The new Contemporary Folk Art Painting by Jeanne Fry titled "Perceptions of the Lady in the Birdcage" brings a Beauty that is engaging and thoughtful. Her state of Being can mean something different to each that see her.

"Perceptions" of the Lady and the Birdcage, a Contemporary Folk Art Painting by Jeanne Fry

Some feel that she has been captured by the Hawk and that she is looking for a way to escape. While others feel that the Hawk has rescued the woman and is taking her to safe keeping, for he knows what it means to be kept and confined.

Is the Comfort she is displaying Honest? or is it a ruse for her escape.

Is the Hawk her totem, rescuing her from a bad choice?

Only the Lady, the Hawk, and the Birdcage know for certain.

Closer View of the Lady in the Birdcage by Jeanne Fry

The painting was created on wrapped canvas. Layers of acrylics bring a rich blended background of turquoise, sage green, linen, and shades of blues. The woman was painted in nude, sitting modestly inside the birdcage. Her long dark hair is tied back in a braid down her back. Her legs are lazily draped through the poles of the birdcage, relaxed and comfortable. Her left hand leans back behind her and holds onto the base of one of the poles, that happens to be the edging of the cage door. The loop on the top of the birdcage is held by the wing of a Red Tailed Hawk, who you can them see, is carrying her and her birdcage.

Dona Nobis Pacem - Grant Us Peace

My entire adult life has been spent seeking, sharing, and Being Peace. I strive to surround myself with people who live their lives in a peaceful way, and try to inspire those who struggle to obtain it. When I was young, I was blessed to grow up in an area of Upstate NY that was rich in cultural diversity. "Normal" to me was being immersed in that melting pot that was defined by so very many cultures and religions. My memories are filled with weekend events - celebrations, dinners, and dances held at different cultural community centers and churches. Everyone was welcome, and everyone would partake. This place had been a destination for many immigrants years back due to the opportunities for work. I remember my grandparents telling me about the old shoe and cigar factories, which were popular places for jobs. As the area grew, more and more industry came. Families were proud and grateful to have life long jobs that allowed them to take care of their families. There ...

Mermaid and Patina Moon

Mermaid and Patina Moon In the past she would swim to the surface to sit along the water's edge and watch the humans. She used to find them quite magical. Most mermaids thought so. But over time she lost her intrigue. She began seeing their shadow sides, and how their fears evolved into hate. She couldn't stand to watch them being so mean to one another anymore and decided to remain in the safe and loving waters of the cove. As the years passed she began to change. Merfolk don't age like humans, with wrinkles and such. Merfolk begin to patina when they age, a colorful sheen cloaks them, most especially their tail. As she began to patina, she became hidden in the waters even more. She blended into her surroundings with precision. This made the Moon ever so sad because he loved Fin the most. It seemed that every night it would take longer and longer to find her. Finally one cold night in November he called to Fin and presented her with a gift wrapped in stars. I...
