Santa Fe Pigeon

$600.00

Mixed Media on Gallery Wrapped Canvas - Framed 14X18

This piece was inspired by a pigeon I rescued in a grocery store parking lot. I was pulling in when I saw four ravens attacking a pigeon. I rolled down my window and shouted at them, and they flew off. The pigeon started crawling toward my car, so I jumped out, wrapped him in a blanket, and scooped him up.

He just stared up at me the whole ride home.

Once we got there, I let him rest in my bathroom. He napped for about an hour, and then I took him outside. Eventually, he flew away. But while we were in the bathroom, he kept flying up to perch on my shoulder.

When creating this piece, I wanted to imagine him in a peaceful, happy place after something so traumatic—perched on a tree in the Santa Fe mountains at sunset, safe and free.
