"Things are looking up"
It's a phrase that is full of hope and encouragement. It feels like a shift from struggle to blessing. Historically pheasants have been associated with circumstances that are favorable. That's why it seemed appropriate to combine this canvas, with its unique size, the upward motion of the birch trees, and the symbolic nature of pheasants. These elements combined with the earth tones on this painting make it feel very grounded and hopeful at the same time. 
 
Here's to the encouragement of favorable moments in each day!
