The Snow Bird. Framed Giclee Print.
690011
| Inspired by the 12th Century classic Victorian Christmas Carol " I Saw Three Ships ." From artist Mary Brazier. Set of 5 custom cards with envelopes.

International artist Mary Brazier brings you this beautiful custom card print of her oil painting Snowbird. The berries on the shelf herald Xmas is close by and the Snow Bird would love to feast upon them before migration south. The antiquity of the ship, named no doubt for its migration up and down the eastern seaboard in its time, belies the more modern use of the snowbird title given to the migration not of birds but of people from the colder climes of the North East USA and Canada to the warmth of the South. Folks in the southern latitudes of America such as Louisiana have long regarded the snowbird as fondly as the Brits regard the robin. For Mary the 12th Century English Christmas Carol, 'I Saw Three Ships," that sailed in to 'Bethlehem on Christmas Morn", was a carol she remembers fondly. " As a child it was always an easy one to remember due to its easy chorus, but the notion that Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus were sailing in to safe harbor on Christmas morning as described in the song, I loved as a good omen and good luck. Perhaps that's folklore because we all know Bethlehem is landlocked. Why three ships? It was also common for writers to exclaim " the Queen arrived in six carriages," when naturally she could only occupy one. So the ships 2 and 3 were probably mentioned under similar license."

Each year Mary creates another wonderful collectible Christmas oil painting. These Giclee prints of the original have become particularly collected in England and the USA. Mary has won many major competitions and awards in the art world over the years, and has won noted award at such galleries in the USA as Kent Art, Kent CT, the magazine : The Artist, and shows her work on both sides of the Atlantic.

Also available in a set of 5 cards with envelopes, notated Seasons Greetings, inside card text reads With Best Wishes for Christmas and a Happy New Year. Share them with your friends or collect. Copyright: Mary Brazier All Rights Reserved on this work.
