When I was making this image the words "mean streets of London" popped into my mind and well I thought maybe this bird is a rookie to London (I have never been to London by the way....) and this birds is just making her way, and she has to have her eyes peeled for danger while the weird white vines temp her. I admit this is quite a silly narrative but a good opportunity for me to play with mixed media, chiefly gouache on colored paper.
