These two verses from the Song of Songs are the inspiration for this piece:
Song of Songs 6:3
אֲנִ֤י לְדוֹדִי֙ וְדוֹדִ֣י לִ֔י הָרֹעֶ֖ה בַּשּׁוֹשַׁנִּֽים׃
I am my beloved’s And my beloved is mine; He browses among the lilies.
Song of Songs 5:16
חִכּוֹ֙ מַֽמְתַקִּ֔ים וְכֻלּ֖וֹ מַחֲּמַדִּ֑ים זֶ֤ה דוֹדִי֙ וְזֶ֣ה רֵעִ֔י בְּנ֖וֹת יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
His mouth is delicious And all of him is delightful. Such is my beloved, Such is my darling, O maidens of Jerusalem!
This is beautiful Anne - the figurative work and the calligraphy. Is it a painting? I am intrigued by your choice of birds - how did you come to this magnificent pair?
