Scale of Speed and Time Fine Art Print mandarin duck

Scale of Speed and Time Fine Art Print mandarin duck"The Scale and Speed of Time": Fine Art Print by John Osgood This painting started with the hummingbird. They move so fast that most of the time you only catch a blur, but when you slow down and really look at one, the colors and details are wild. I wanted to mix that feeling with the idea of time passing in layers. Thats where the roses and cut out shapes come in little snapshots, almost like pieces of different moments stacked together. The bird

I’ve always been drawn to the symbolic weight of Kachina figures and how they stand as bridges between the physical and spiritual worlds

It felt fitting

There isn’t really a line between us and nature

and whatever your state of mind

It’s a quieter scene compared to the battles over the feeder

The way we frame our reality

This little bird

"Oshidori": Fine Art Print by John Osgood

like having a feathered friend to share life with

I kept the background bold so the bird feels even more front-and-center

so painting it gave me room to push the colors
