This painting is about summer. It’s a portrait of Roy and his motorcycle. His bulldog watches from the shadows. But it’s really about summer; getting the sun in your eyes and the wind in your hair. It’s the passion of riding and The Roar of Summer.

Here’s a 2 minute video about the process of creating this painting.

“Sterling, I have a question for you.”

“What is it, Felix?”

“Have you been looking in the studio window lately?

“No, I haven’t.”

“Well she captured you. Come see. You are too big to fit on the canvas. Haha. She’s got that right.”

“What in feathers are you talking about?”

“She painted your portrait, old bird. It’s you. She even caught the shimmers in your feathers.”

“Wow, that is me. That is a handsome bird. She caught my oratorical qualities. I like it. Felix, go caw the others. I want them to see what a real bird looks like.”

Ravens strut and fret any hour upon the snow.
Feathers burst into sparring over conflicts of interest.
Others stomp or fly away in disgust.
Politics.

“Sterling, I have a question for you.”

“What is it, Felix?”

“Point your beak over there. Look. In that window. What’s going on?”

“Felix, you won’t understand. She’s an artist. She’s painting on sticks. They call it an easel. She holds a stick, they call a brush. There is a little bit of fur on the end if you look closely. She drags colors around with it.”

“What? I like those bright shiny colors, but why every day?”

“Felix, why do you fly?”

“I’ve got feathers. That’s why. Open up my wings. Catch a thermal. Let the wind take me places. High places. Everything blurs into colors of light. Freedom. It’s who I am. It makes me feel alive.”

“Exactly.”

“What? Oh. Hmmmm. She has colors, brushes. Makes her feel alive. It gives her freedom.”

“You’re beginning to understand.”

“Sterling, look on the wall. It’s Herald! The artist captured Herald! He’s stuck on the wall. This is awful. I’m going in…”

“Felix, stop, you feather-duster! That’s a painting of Herald. It’s not really him. Back off Buddy. There is a lot you don’t understand.”

Do you have a red pebble in your life?
One that you are pondering right now?

Red pebbles are mysterious.
They are hard to make decisions that impact your future.
Our life is determined by our choices.

Some red pebbles wait in the shadows and we have to work to see them. Others make us stumble.

Is it a mere distraction or valuable gem?
What is it for you?

Facing a bear is facing your fear.
It’s cold. It’s dangerous. It’s terrifying.

But you…you faced your bear
and it taught you something
about yourself you never knew.

You tamed the bear and expanded your world.
You gather strength from your tamed bear every day.
It gives you courage.

Did I paint this for you?
If so, I’m anxious to hear your story
and learn your bear’s name!
