     "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 decide on an appropriate 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, including those dealing with natural history subjects was the catalyst that led to what you see. This original is now available as a signed and numbered Limited Edition Print. Edition size: 95. Please see Limited Edition Print Page for details.
