people look east... verse 3

Birds, though you long have ceased to build,
Guard the nest that must be filled.
Even the hour when wings are frozen
God for fledging time has chosen.
People, look east and sing today:
Love, the bird, is on the way.






The artist is Ernesto Cailvano.  I stumbled on him while perusing butdoesitfloat.com, one of my favorite art blogs.
There's just something about his imagery that I quite like, every time, whether he's doing a floral study, or something abstract and geometric.


Have I mentioned how much I love using Google to search for images?   I frequently download hi-res images so that I can look at them again, organize them into collections, and hopefully use them as inspiration for later work.  It helps to have them culled out, rather than loosing track of where they are.
The problem is, once I've done so, I frequently lose track of who the original artist was or where I found it. Or, sometimes, I got it from a location where the source wasn't properly sited in the first place.  Enter Google to Save the Day, and let me learn more about the art I love.
