I love both these paintings so much and they are both about movement. I too envy the birds and wild animals for their ability to fly and roam freely. Cockatoo’s, Lorikeets and Kookaburra’s come to my balcony almost daily, and I welcome them, but I tell them they are better off in the trees. The contrast and colors of the blue painting are so rich, yet welcoming, and the white highlights feel like rays of light from heaven.

Gorgeous work of art! Your blues give me a sense of depth and freedom, while the warm colors give me a sense of safety. I appreciate your insight that freedom and safety are linked. It seems that without some limits to our freedom (enough to preserve us), we are not truly free.
