The Birds of the Air ~ Acrylic Figure ~ by Nancy Standlee


"The Birds of the Air"
30" x 40" Acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas

This is the largest I've ever worked and I realize if I do this again, it would help if I had a large stand up easel. I enjoyed working this large and will try this size again. This was painted as an entry to a church art festival.
I chose The Sower of Seeds theme from Luke 8:1-15. "The Birds of the Air" are watching a farmer as he goes out to plant his crop on a sunny spring day. Some of the seeds fall on a well traveled path and are trodden down and the waiting birds eat the seed before the seed produces a crop.

  1. Nancy I saw this piece at the PCPC Show in Dallas and it really makes a statement -- it's a real commitment painting this large -- very dramatic. BT
