“Not without hope we suffer and we mourn.”
To be truthful - I picked the mourning dove because of it's colours and name. I was feeling sad and working through my grief for several loved ones. I have never seen a mourning dove, but when I opened a sound file to hear their call - my heart sank a bit and my only words were OH. I have heard this sound before many times. I was suprised. And then not surprised, because I have mourned many people also.
My goal with this paintings was to incorporate a realistic type dove into an organic stream of writing. To me, that is a combination of imagery, thought and styles.

I don't understand your obsession with doves, are you insane?
