two little birds

 |  February 12, 2009

I created this panel with my six year old niece in mind. It was fun channeling a sweet little girl who loves pink while making this. When I was her age I hated all things pink and girly. Now in my thirties, I am starting to like pink. But more like fuschia or magenta.

For this piece I used a painting that I created a couple years ago as the starting point. It’s fun to do that sometimes. Take something you’ve done, but then take it in a completely different direction.

Thank you all for your comments about my web site redesign! Still have a lot of work to do on it still, but it’s getting there.

    Mmmm... I like this! Looks to me like balance, gentleness and stability. I guess 'nurture' would be a good word.

    Love this piece Bridgette, especially the handwriting at the bottom. *swoon*

    Your niece will love this, as would any little girl. I guess from the handwriting that she is learning to write.

    This is lovely without being maudlin. The dusty pinks are luscious.

    beautiful piece - the primary writing at the bottom gives it a bit a innocence

    Bridgette, I love, love, love the simplicity in your work. It is something I find hard to achieve. All the images with birds and trees seem to evoke such a peaceful feeling. Thank you for sharing them with the world.
