12''  original painting
On a smooth round maple wood tondo, a robin perches quietly among layered leaves, its familiar presence elevated with a touch of radiance. The bird’s chest glows in deep russet-orange and yellow acrylic, contrasting against soft browns, greys, and blacks of its wings and head.
Hints of gold shimmer along the edges of the foliage and softly halo the robin, catching light as the viewer shifts perspective. 
The circular format emphasizes continuity and balance, turning the robin—so often seen as a symbol of renewal and hope—into a timeless emblem. At once earthy and luminous, the painting bridges the ordinary beauty of the natural world with a sense of quiet reverence.
