Black Bird Sings

Black Bird Sings, is made with oil on canvas, ready to hang all hanging hardware included. This is a realistic painting of a inspirational writer, who inspires many people. The painting is based on Maya Angelous’s confinement and oppression, as expressed in the poem. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings”. My intention in the painting is to relate to and give a voice to Maya Angelou and to others who suffer atrocities while growing up, and who face endemic racial prejudice. The painting reflects mindless oppression and injustice.
