“Of Spring Everlasting” is an original Oil painting by Corinne Lewis and part of the Captive Companions Series, showing an elegant woman in a light-blue dress with colorful flowers and a green parrot on her hand. For the artist, the focus rests on the intimate bond between highly trained birds and dedicated humans. Eschewing traditional portraiture, the females in Corinne’s paintings are anonymous. Sumptuous garments emulate the vivid plumage of the birds they hold. The exotic bird denotes the feminine, the intuitive, and the multi-hued resonance that is nature itself.
