EARTH'S HIDDEN SONG print

Laurie Lee wrote of the blackbird’s song as something that cracked the winter open — a sudden colour in the grey, a reminder that beneath the hard earth the seeds are already stirring. This is a painting about that hidden promise: the solstice song rising through frost and silence.

Christmas, germination, the deep midwinter — this image holds all of it. The blackbird sings not despite the cold but into it, and the earth listens.

The original painting is acrylic on canvas with copper leaf, the gilded warmth of the surface set against the winter palette — a painting about colour persisting in the dark.
