In "Fields of Flight," I wanted to create something that resonates with those who deeply love and appreciate birds and the natural world. The woman in the painting exhibits a quiet moment of connection with nature, where everything is still full of life. As she closes her eyes, she's immersing herself in the tenderness and beauty of her surroundings, much like how bird devotees experience moments of awe when observing the graceful flight of birds.

The bird, in particular, is central to this piece. Its wings are outstretched mid-flight, suggesting the freedom and beauty that bird lovers admire. This bird represents more than just an element of nature—it's a bridge between the human and organic worlds, showing how we are all connected. I painted it in lifelike detail to celebrate the elegance and grace bird enthusiasts often observe in the wild.

The backdrop of golden hues and floating red flowers adds a layer of serenity and the quiet beauty of the outdoors, inviting viewers to experience the peacefulness of nature. The contrast of the woman's red garment against the warm background colors is intended to evoke a sense of vibrancy and life that nature brings us.

"Fields of Flight" is an invitation to step into that quiet moment, breathe in the beauty of the natural world, and feel the freedom that birds inspire.  A reminder of God’s loving care, “Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not more valuable than they?” Matthew 6:25-27
