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.

Romancing the Butterfly and its Symbolic Meaning

The Butterfly has such a beautiful significance in life, a delicate and ornate creature who just by their floating into our presence can instantly light smiles on the faces who see her. They are symbolic for the Perception of the Evolving Soul. The way in which they flutter through the air and land on one flower... to the next flower, looks as if they are doing a dance of happiness. Almost as if they are giving out kisses to each one. Even in difficult or harsh circumstances they still float in the same manner, insistent on living in the moment and living in joy. The Butterfly represents how you choose to perceive your growth, whether you perceive the transformations as a difficult period or whether you perceive them as a grand adventure appreciative of each moment. Transformation, change, and growth are inevitable, but how we choose to walk through them affects how easy or difficult they can be. The Butterfly is a special totem to look to when you are going through a t...

New Year Quest to Organize and Simplify

I'm spending the remainder of the year trying to make life easier, simplify, organize, with the eternal quest to find more time in my day. So many hours are spent now on social media that I strive to find the balance between creating and connecting. The past few months my blogs have suffered from this, my writing being sporadic. I'm committing to get back to my consistency with the blogging, as it has always been one of my first loves....and especially the time reading my favorite blogs. I found Bloglovin where I can keep track of my favorite reads nicely, in one simple clean format. I hope this helps on my quest. Back to organizing :) Peace and Love http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/13296731/?claim=mn4sk8qx4fb
