Blackbird Sings

My sons are a little bit obsessed with The Beatles right now. I actually love that they both go to sleep every night listening to their music. Two different greatest hits going on in two different rooms, but somehow it seems to work. So, when I finished this piece and was ready to name it, Blackbird Sings just felt right. I can hear Paul singing whenever I look at it! This piece was sold before it was finished, so it can't be found on www.mychloeflower.com. However, I have a new series that should be ready for it's debut tomorrow or the next day. I've been doing smaller pieces lately, but I am working on a couple of larger ones now. I forgot how fun it is to make grand gestures on the canvas! I'm also working on another baby shower piece. It is really sweet and coordinates with a Pottery Barn Kids bedding set. Hopefully, I will be ready to debut all of these very soon! In the meantime, I continue to watch the little birds living in my birdhouse, countdown until summer and hope that my tulips will hang on just a little bit longer!

The Birds Are Back!

Despite some lingering cold weather, spring is definitely here. I am so excited because the birds who built their nest in my birdhouse last year are back! If you've been reading this blog for awhile, you'll remember that I loved watching these little birds so much! They offered endless joy, inspiration and undeniable proof that I am becoming my grandmother! This piece, Bird on Gold, is an older one that is one of my absolute favorites. The bird here was inspired by these little spring birds who take up residence in my old, rusty birdhouse. I think in the spirit of renewal, I am going to have to create a new little bird. Back to the studio!
