“Birds have always had the ability to bring me out of a dark space and provide relief in bad times.” - Jason Ward

Acrylic on two 28” x 22” canvases from the Reverie series, this diptych depicts some of my favourite birds, with their superb plumage. Related to blackbirds, new world orioles bright colors of orange and yellow can represent surprise and excitement, and their rich songs can symbolize happiness, stability, and harmony. The Baltimore Oriole celebrates the storied history of Baltimore, Marylland, USA. It can also symbolize resourcefulness, the creation of sacred space, and nurturing. Reference photos were a combination of my own and some helpful Instagram photographers: @driftless_nature, @yinger.birding,@rayyeager.rtyphotography, @andy_raupp, @sharonmri, as well as Michel Lanthier (Ottawa region professional photographer). The Baltimore Oriole is protected by federal law covering all migratory bird species, (the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918) and, since 1975, by the State's Nongame and Endangered Species Conservation Act (Chapter 27, Acts of 1975) .
