Covid Hibernation Blues

Description

Open Edition Reproduction

I saw a beautiful pelican photo by @johnreveszphotography right in the middle of covid and even though the pelican is just sleepy, it looked exactly how I felt. I wanted to curl up and ignore the world, thus began the journey out of my doldrums, through lots of texture and concentration.

Covid Hibernation Blues is made up of many different blues and a touch of purple, with a splash of colour in the beak. The eye is full of so many colours, it represents the undying spirit, there is a rainbow at the end of this and we will be happy and free again. This painting is meant to be uplifting and beautiful. There may be many ripples and bumps (the texture) in life but there is always hope (the eye). Photo reference was used with permission by John Revesz, many thanks.
