Awhile back, I showed a co-worker one of my latest paintings. She said she liked the painting, but she wanted to know why I put Jesus birds in a lot of my paintings?"Jesus birds? Why do you call them Jesus birds?"
She, still in her 20's, immediately went to Google, found the following site: www.thedowsschoolroom.com/bibledecobaby.shtml and there they were, Jesus birds. She proceeded to tell me my birds look just like all the cut out birds on church school bulletin boards and she remembers them from her childhood.
This was a first for me, but I admit she's right in that my birds sure do look like those Jesus birds. It was then that I decided that this is what my birds are, Jesus birds. Nothing wrong with this. Nothing wrong with Jesus. Maybe I've been "destined" to paint them, spreading the word on the wings of birds?
