The Canary
The colours in this painting are soft and muted, reflecting the quiet , contemplative mood of the musician as he holds his guitar.
The birds are his audience they have come together as the sun goes down to listen and watch.
In his hand, the musician holds a canary. A canary is known not only for its vibrant colour but also for its vibrant song, and while the canary sings, there is freedom and joy.
But canaries are very sensitive, and when they cease to sing, be aware of what is to come.
