     "Knowledge is Power" is an example of a painting that evolved slowly.  From concept to finished work took four years, simply because I couldn't figure out what to use as a background. Originally, the viewer was going to be looking out, along with the young robin, through the cracked glass of an old farmhouse window but I couldn't find the appropriate house or window. A few other ideas I thought might work were eventually disposed of.  A fortuitous acquisition, however, of an Arts & Crafts bookcase and its subsequent filling of older books was the catalyst that led to what you see.
