Blue Bird

7" x 8" x 5"

Rhett Johnson

"Squawk" this blue bird seems to be saying, as if someone has pulled its tail. Blue barrels in the same junkyard where red barrels resided also found their way to Rhett's studio. Rhett has a soft spot for orphaned barrels and painted metals. Quite possibly this is the Blue Bird of Happiness, though I can't authenticate this nomenclature. Yellow metal legs, feet, lower beak, and wing spots add a dash of whimsy. Its eyes are white glass beads.

Rhett has hand cut and formed each bird out of painted metal barrels. A small flock awaits migration. *this bird has wings up, other two in flock have wings out like red birds. first person gets wings up version.
