All kinds of them. They often show up in my work. What I think of most is their meanings. Traditional meanings. My own meanings. What others may come up with.
I've been wanting to do a series of paintings just expressing those meanings. I started it a long while ago when I was with my husband and I did one for us.
The finished recent piece is thus-
"Pigeon Reminds us- Love"
Colored Pencil and Marker on Cotton. 11 x 14 inches.
I really do love this piece. It brought together materials that I am enjoying immensely and images that I enjoy. When I searched through all the meanings of pigeons, most knew of the Dove and its association with peace. A few though, spoke of love. Think of it as a carrier pigeon- it returns home. They have loving 'coo coo' sounds. They are abundant. There is no lack of love.
Next time you see one, mayhaps you will think of love, wherever or however you are.
