Little Dipper

This is about thirst and perseverance when faced with difficulty.  It's about hope and dependence...creatures needing one another. 

All all four half-inch deep edges are painted and ready to hang unframed.

“Little Dipper is about thirst and perseverance when faced with difficulty. 

It's about hope and dependence and creatures needing one another.

The mental image came to me while viewing an agateware dipper in an antique shop. I thought what a bird might do with a chance opportunity to partake of the trace of water still in it.

I felt a sense of curiosity and calm, and the bird’s presence seemed natural and yet unexpected.

So I bought the little dipper, took it back to my studio at the Golden Apple Art Residency in Maine, and painted it with a wren,   

Enjoy!
