Steam-set, French silk dye on 100% Habotai silk
16" x 22” silk mounted on 18” x 24” x 2” gessoed canvas*
Blue Bird of Happiness captures the gentle arrival of joy through the presence of a bluebird quietly resting on a vertical tree branch. This original silk painting invites the viewer into a moment of calm observation, where the simple act of pausing brings its own sense of emotional uplift. The bluebird gazes outward with a serene and knowing expression, offering a reminder that happiness often meets us when we slow down and truly see the world around us.
Bluebirds have long been cherished as symbols of hope, renewal, and the promise of brighter days. Their appearance is often felt as a blessing, a sign that joy is returning or has been with you all along. This painting embodies that meaning, honoring the quiet yet powerful way happiness can settle into the heart.
The background is created through a shibori technique in deep rust and soft olive green. The organic patterns evoke the feeling of autumn leaves, adding warmth and grounding to the composition. Against this rich backdrop, the bluebird appears in jewel toned rust and teal that glow beautifully on the silk surface, giving the bird an almost luminous presence.
Blue Bird of Happiness brings both elegance and emotional resonance to any space. It serves as a gentle reminder to welcome joy whenever it appears and to trust its ability to take root in your life.
