Description
This is technically the third work of art to be included in my Redbird Series but the fourth included in the Redbird Gallery here at Fine Art America . A recent visitor to the gallery shared some comments offline about her interpretations of the meaning of red cardinals in my life. I found her remarks very interesting because they reminded me of passages from one of my most recently-completed manuscripts in which I discuss how different birds have functioned as symbols in my literary work. Probably the best known is identified in the title of the poetry collection: Visions of a Skylark Dressed in Black.
What I find particularly interesting about the red cardinal is that it actually has not been incorporated into my writings. The preferred mode of creative expression, where it is concerned, seems to be visual art.
While finishing "Redbird in the Valley of Beautiful Possibilities," I recalled a former co-worker telling me the red cardinal was kind of like a shooting or falling star. "When you see a red bird," she explained, "you should blow it a kiss for good luck." I don't know how many people have discovered that to be either true or false but the artist in me considers the idea very poetic.

Aberjhani's Official Postered Chromatic Poetics 16 Days Ago
Thank you so much friend VIVA. It has been too long between chats and visits. I've had to dodge quite a few tropical storms and hurricanes this year. Hoping to treat myself to some quality time on FAA very soon.

Thank you VIVA for the revisit. Greatly appreciate the reminders, which, I confess, I sometimes lose sight of until coming back to "Redbird in the Valley of Beautiful Possibilities" myself.

Appreciate that Geraldine. Also have to thank that red cardinal for sitting still long enough for me to capture images of it.
