Chasing Home I

Chasing Home I, originally uploaded by apriljoy45.

The first painting I did for the Art Group, theme: Ravens. I like birds a lot, and even before the Group, I found them showing up in the creative/crafty things I was doing. 

They found their way into the fabric books I made, the fabric I bought and the print blocks I carved.

Birds to me represent hope, and that is something I can always use more of. I have a ring with the word Hope inscribed on it, I wear it to remind myself to be more hopeful than I am naturally inclined to be.
