Blooming Wisteria and Sparrows Canvas Print

In this image, the artist complements and contrasts the modest sparrow with the magnificent flowers of the wisteria. In the past, the flowering wisteria vine was associated with Japanese nobility as commoners were forbidden from wearing the color purple. Wisteria or fuji are purple flowers which grow on woody, trailing vines. Sparrows are familiar tiny birds, so common that human beings often ignore their presence. Spadecaller enjoys joining the modesty of the common sparrow with the spectacular blooming wisteria. This is a mixed media and digital painting created in Spadecaller's Florida studio.

Spadecaller is an experienced traditional artist, who creates original hand-painted digital images and photo composite artworks. In the late fifties at eight years old, Spadecaller started formal training in traditional oil painting.Through considerable personal sacrifice, his mother nurtured his artistic talents and provided him with the tools to launch his creative journey. Spadecaller attended The School of Visual Arts in New York City (1970-71), and during the 70's up until the late 80's, he exhibited acrylic and oils in Montreal and New York. Due to the onset of chronic illness in the late nineties and with the advent of image editing software, he turned to creating digital hand painted images and photographic art. Artwork by...
