Everything Changes

"The actual title for this painting in my head is in Spanish – Cambia Todo Cambia, a song by Mercedes Sosa, an Argentinian Singer. She was called the 'voice of the voiceless ones'. She lived during the brutal dictatorship in the 1970s, until she went into exile in Europe until the mid 1980s, I believe. I have loved this song for decades. There is a sadness to it, but also a comfort in that, well, everything changes and it always will.

…That which has changed yesterday
 Will have to change tomorrow.
 Just as I am changing
. - Mercedes Sosa (translation)

This painting itself went through many transformations. So many layers because of all the changes. The image comes from a photo I took in the meadow that I recently did an oil painting of. So many layers of life in a meadow. Nothing is static in a meadow filled with so much life. And the bird sits above knowing that change and growth is the only constant."
