"In the early spring, you can look through the forest and see the blossoms
of the dogwood like glowing beacons or candles, particularly when the sun
shines through and they are backlit. This is the primary effect I wanted
to achieve in this painting. There is a lightness, an airiness and a delicacy
to everything—a kind of gentleness. This is why I chose the bluebird for
this painting of early spring. It doesn’t sit there and sing away defiantly;
it has a little, low kind of purring chirp. It is one of the most gentle
of all birds."
