"The Jailbirds" by Hilary J. England oil on canvas, 8" x 16", 2016 |
Continued my path around town today, and found this interesting little scene. It was really very difficult to paint on the spot. The light was tremendously bright today which made seeing extremely hard from the full and intense direct sunlight. Hat didn't help, and sunglasses would have just made things incredibly funky. I guess I should have embarked earlier, or later, rather than at noontime.
I really enjoyed the flowers bulging against the rusty old chain link fence. I felt kind of like I was looking at beautiful creatures in a cage, like they had gone to prison, and were straining to be let go and released.
I always enjoy finding little scenes of quiet drama. They seem to be nothing on the surface, but just below, there is always a mighty story!
~Enjoy!
