Full Title: " Blue Bird... "


Description and mediums:
"Blue Bird of Happiness
*painted with watercolors*

"The mythology of the bluebird of happiness has deep roots that go back thousands of years. Indigenous cultures across the globe hold similar myths and beliefs about the bluebird. It is the most universally accepted symbol of cheerfulness, happiness, prosperity, hearth and home, good health, new births, the renewal of springtime, etc. Virtually any positive sentiments may be attached to the bluebird.

In magical symbology, bluebirds are used to represent confidence in the positive aspect and egotism in the negative. A dead bluebird is a symbol of disillusionment, of the loss of innocence, and of transformation from the younger and naive to the older and wiser." /<wikipedia

The myth of the Blue Bird of Happiness exists in many different cultures. There's no "official" look for the bird, so I created my own version.

I'm also sad about the way it turned out after scanning with some blues being totally bleached out ;/ This is already an edited version. I'll try to take a picture of it tomorrow that will hopefully improve the quality.
Tonight's the contest deadline, so I couldn't wait to get at least a decent picture of it.. :/
