Finishing this painting took me more than 2 years. I wrote the poem spontaneously after a walk in the wilderness. But there was more in the picture, a sword with a scar, covered with rust, blossoming too. This could only be the sword lying in between Tristan & Yseult, sleeping beauty in the tender eyes of Marc, more poet than king at this very moment. Therefore, this is the portrait of his gentle soul.

In those woods
Everything whispers
Softly
For Me.

A Girl With A Bird (2022)
by © sophiE D. S. wright alias MâOphélie
These is a three stories construction. A first version, inscribed in the tradition of japonisme was released in 2017 under the title Path of Beauty. Then, in 2019, the painting evolved in another direction, the lady shed her skin, put a fair eighteenth century wig on and became part of a short film made of stills set in motion, being one of the Gifts of Birds as the story unfolds :
There was once a Cheshire Cat Owl in my Garden
In his sleep, many many song birds :
Acorn woodpeckers, jays
& dreamy ladies.
Gems, Flowers, Berries
All telling stories …
In 2022, the lady took off her wig to reveal a braided hairstyle intertwined with the berries gifted by the bird. In one of her many hands, she holds three crystal balls pierced by a golden arrow with a leaf - the weapon of Love. She looks pensively and smiles gently, floating on a dreamy flower bed, as the bird carries to her the enigma of a fourth crystal ball.
What lies ahead ?
* A Girl with a Bird was composed on iPadPro with Procreate. As in all of my digital work, my signature plays a role in the composition : A little enigmatic accent, here, two birds in a magical square holding my name displayed in the form софи (Sophie).
