Lyre Song II - Original Painting

615 x 615 mm
Original painting by Marcia Priestley
Acrylic on Canvas
Box framed in Oak

In this piece, Marcia captures the stark beauty of a solitary bird amidst the sprawling sands of the Palm Desert. The painting blends warm, earthy tones with striking, fluid lines that echo the bird's graceful resilience against the vast, sun-drenched landscape. The contrast between the delicate form of the bird and the rugged desert environment brings a sense of movement and quiet strength. This work is a tribute to nature's endurance, reflecting the wild spirit of life that thrives even in the most unforgiving places.

A soft, chalkiness texture emerges in Marcia's paintings, formed by layers of texture creating a realistic view of depth and character. A technique unique to her work, Marcia Priestley evokes an engaging narrative fluent with emotion using a powdered application with acrylic on canvas to create a serene viewing. Lyrical tones are sculptured and composed of longitudinal arrangements or pattern formation creating movement, body, texture & difference.
