Painting 57 of 99 – Rebecca Childs

Sorry for the wait–I had some commission work to finish this month on a deadline. I plan to release several new pieces for the 99 Paintings for Evelyn series leading up to Christmas!

16 x 20″ mixed media on 5/8″ gallery wrapped canvas. I really enjoyed getting in a little nod to Emily Dickinson with “Hope is the Thing With Feathers” written in the background.

“Hope” is the thing with feathers –

That perches in the soul –

And sings the tune without the words –

And never stops – at all –

And sweetest – in the Gale – is heard –

And sore must be the storm –

That could abash the little Bird

That kept so many warm –

I’ve heard it in the chillest land –

And on the strangest Sea –

Yet – never – in Extremity,

It asked a crumb – of me.
