Acrylics On Gallery Wrapped canvas

The third in my Blackbird series.

My BlackBird series is about empathy, the rawest most vulnerable places within us and how easily they can be harmed.
The items are symbols of love (locket), spirituality(rosary), commitment (wedding band), and hope (key).
The blackbird symbolises a lack of empathy, the raven doesn`t care about or even know the harm he may have caused by his theft.
He merely sought to satisfy his own desire for the shiny thing, a thing that really means nothing to him but perhaps everything to the one who has lost it.
We all hang by a thread and our souls, for want of a better word, are most often damaged by those who never really give us a second thought.....or do they?

What a wonderful painting, as well as the meaning behind it. Nice job-- what medium did you use?

I`m sorry I neglected to say in the description.

Most of my work at the moment is in acrylics on canvas.

I`ve just started playing with some oils but nothing I want to post yet.

I`m glad you like the piece.

That's a really good painting.

Love the light source, you have a wonderful highlight-to-dark scheme on the go, especially throughout the feathers.

Square canvas, always a bit of a toughie when it comes to composition, but this works really well.

I really like this. I love all of your blackbirds. It's funny, I actually wrote a short story similar to this. It's about a crow and a skeleton key.
