Where Wild Birds Dream

Where Wild Birds Dream

Oil on Canvas — Penelope Jayne

Where Wild Birds Dream is a quiet, luminous moment suspended between waking and wonder.
A young woman rests with her eyes gently closed, held in the soft embrace of native gumleaves that arc around her like a forest whisper. Two delicate blue wrens — symbols of joy, intuition, and gentle companionship — perch close to her, as if guarding a secret the heart remembers more easily than the mind.

Painted in Penelope’s signature ethereal palette, the work blends dreamlike softness with expressive markings. Gold-touched light shimmers through the leaves, suggesting a hidden world where feminine spirit and the natural realm converse in silence.

This piece speaks to inner stillness, intuitive listening, and the quiet frequency shared between women and the wild. It invites the viewer into that in-between place — where breath slows, colours soften, and the soul hears what the world forgets to say.
