On a warm summer day my wife and I decided to bring the kids blueberry picking. Going to a farm is always very exciting experience of discovery, you never know what you'll see next. This time what I saw may have been a very simple sight to many, but for me it was the inspiration for a new painting. As i stood in the tall grass admiring an old fence post, the breeze slowly blowing on the tall grass led me to imagine what magical a moment would be if a bird of prey would be perching on that rusty wire, a perfect painting setting. It was after that I was inspired to add an American Kestrel to the concept. Its variety of colours and textures was simply irresistible to me. The memory of the farm smell and the sound of the tall grass being tossed by the soft wind truly gave soul and life to the painting.
