Fragnoli Framed Tethered Bird

 This handpainted image features a striking blue bird with an orange chest captured mid-flight, wings fully outstretched in a graceful arc. The bird’s feathers are rendered with delicate, expressive brushstrokes in varying shades of cerulean, cobalt, and sky blue, contrasted beautifully by the warm, sunlit orange of its breast. Despite its dynamic pose, a fine tether—painted in a soft tan —extends from its chest downward, anchoring it subtly to an unseen point off the edge of the white ceramic tile. The background remains clean and stark, the untouched white tile emphasizing the tension between freedom and restraint. The overall composition feels both vivid and contemplative, with a touch of surreal symbolism.
