Like a Bird


I have finally created a new piece. My muse has run away from home, but I decided to create something without her. This piece is based on a Leonard Cohen song. The first few lines go like this:
Like a bird
on the wire
Like a drunk
In the midnight choir
I have tried
In my way
To be free

This song has been rattling around in my head forever. This is mostly collage, some distressed painted board, stamps, ink, rub-ons, and embellishments. In my enthusiasm, I created this piece to be about 9x12, but my scanner is about 8x11.5 so I couldn't scan the entire piece. But, oh, well, you get the idea. I'm just thrilled to be creating again.
