Hope is the Thing with Feathers, a line taken from Emily Dickenson's poem, is envisioned in this 12"x16" acrylic painting on canvas. Part of the Orni Sapiens series created by Janet Strayer, this work portrays a small assembly of people in the company of a bird. Will they all take flight or remain doubtful of their ability? It's really an open-ended story for you to complete.
