Free Bird

Of the very many things that my beloved grandmother the Illustrious Callie Ira Wright taught me was that I was the only one that could confine me. It would be many years later as to my developing the full meaning of what that meant.

If you have followed me for any length of time, viewed more than one of my pieces you would recognize very quickly that I am certainly not confined by what I Inque on paper or canvas.

There have been many that questioned me as to how I could support this band as they paraded around the stage waving the flag of the Confederacy? Now I am a Southern boy born and bred through and through and I share no love whatsoever for that flag. I however like these good ol boys music or in particular this song.  They did change up the flag ( reasons unknown to me at this time) The song is me…. A free Bird…

 

 

Because this song touched me the way it did. I am truly that free bird or found out years later that I was a free bird and that the only person that could contain me was myself. I created this piece appropriately titled free bird, and I will have it in my Gallery for sale. The mediums are white Pen and chalk on a black illustration board. It was my 2nd attempt at doing something different.
