"Bird's Nest with Two Eggs"

"Bird's Nest with Two Eggs"
12" x 12"
Oil on Hardboard

I often use black outlines to express my images. The dynamic contrast of color when used with black is playful and lighthearted. It's a contradiction and a complement both at the same time. Victor Hugo once wrote, "The soul has greater need of the ideal than the real. It is by the real that we exist. It is by the ideal that we live." For me, painting the ideal lifts the soul.
