Joy’s watercolour painting of a Sparrow is part of her Art is Adventure – The Paddy Field Series, which explores the beauty and significance of rural life and nature.
Sparrows, often seen during harvest, are crucial in foraging for paddy husks in these rice fields. Their connection to the harvest and the land gives them a more profound significance, offering valuable lessons about resilience, faith, and life that resonate with all who view this painting.
In many cultures, sparrows are seen as symbols of protection and good fortune. Their presence is believed to bring blessings and ward off evil spirits. The sparrows’ ability to navigate challenging environments and adapt to changing circumstances is genuinely inspiring, offering hope and reassurance to all who view this painting.
