I was very inspired quite recently when I came across the saying "I keep a green bough in my heart and a singing bird comes to me". The painting is mixed media (golden acrylics, coloured inks and pastels), and with it I wanted to capture the shimmer and snippets of Spring in full flush.
It felt like the perfect counterpart to a birthday card my graphic designer uncle had once made for me many years ago, which contained the phrase "Wer die Sonne im Herzen traegt, haelt das Leben in der Hand". This translates into "carry sunshine in your heart, hold life in your hand".
