This portfolio is a collection of some animals that I have chosen. I often paint birds because to me they symbolize freedom and grace.
"Graceful Power" tells of being reborn, transformed, renewed. A powerful, graceful stunning white bird that grew from an 'ugly duckling'.Her wings are spread out wide which means (to me) that she is powerful, she is free, she is surrendering to her authentic self. The leaves depict hope, renewal, revival, growth, health and fertility. They are a symbol of abundance and life. The smaller leaves are also indicative of seeds which are also in abundance and they encapsulate hope for continued growth and nourishment.
