This painting is open to the viewers’ interpretations. It can be the lamentation of man mourning the death of a member of his family that succumbed to death of corona virus. Watching the soul of a loved ones breaking free from the agony of life, or is it the lamentation of an abusive husband watching his wife break free from the abusive relationship or can it be the lamentation of a father whose daughter ran away from home? The father of the run-away daughter believed he and his wife provided their daughter with all that should make her happy and comfortable at “golden” home. Their daughter perceived their “golden” home, their Godly discipline and guidance as a “golden cage” laced with stems of thorns from which she needs to break free. The father’s emotion evokes the poem below. MY LITTLE BIRD 29906 My little bird flew away Her where about I do not know. Fear of her safety and her welfare Gripped my heart. Hoping and praying All is well with her. My little bird flew away Trapped, re-occurring habit She could not sway. Breaking her heart and mine Outside alluring Over her father’s love prevailed Beating her wings against the cage Eagerly longing to fly away. My little bird flew away Out of the secure and safety I know Into the world unknown Where evil predators Prey on defenseless ones Valiantly in vain I fought to keep her in. As I fret and worried The Spirit within calms me down Let go and let God. My little bird, fly; fly away Spread your wings far and wide Out of my sight but not out of my mind. Out of my hands; not out of God’s hands Into His everlasting arms I leave you.

O. Yemi Tubi - An Artist and Advocate for the world’s Peace. I am a Nigerian-born, American-trained Artist residing in the United Kingdom an artist with a unique personal style. Most of my recent paintings were influenced by the political and social upheaval of our world today and the works of Renaissance artists. “A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art” so said Paul Cezanne; I was moved by emotion to do most of my political and socially influenced paintings “THE EAGLE HAS LANDED” was done to speak about the American-led war on terror. My painting “THE BLEEDING ROSES” was done in solidarity with Christians beheaded by ISIS in Iraq and Syria. I used my paintings “AFRICAN’T”, “HUNGER IN THE LAND OF PLENTY” and “OIL: AFRICANS’ WEALTH AND WOE” to speak about the exploitation of African nations. The Painting depicts paradoxical poverty and the riches of Africa. my work, “THE FISHERS OF MEN” is about the horror of refugees drowning in the Mediterranean Sea. I also used my painting – “UKRAINE: THE UNFORTUNATE BRIDE” to speak about the America and Russia-influenced war in Ukraine. I desire my portrait paintings to be uniquely creative. I do not copy images from pictures. I create what the camera cannot create. I use portrait paintings to tell the stories about my subjects and often use my subjects’ professions to create their portraits as I did with the portrait of Professor Wole Soyinka, 1986 Nobel Prize Winner in Literature in my painting “SOYINKA: An Africans’ Literary Icon”, I used artist materials to create my painting “PORTRAIT OF AN ARTIST” and I used the violin to create the face of my subject in the “THE VIOLINIST” My works progress from political paintings to paintings of the facts of the life of people. The theme of my works, in general, is "The Facts of Life: Roses and Thorns." Life is roses and thorns; sometimes it emanates the sweet aroma of pleasantness and sometimes it pricks and causes pains. I often use Roses and Thorns for portrait paintings of the facts of the life of people. I first used Roses and Thorns in my political painting “THE BLEEDING ROSES.” Since then I have adopted this floral iconography style - Roses and Thorns as my unique style in some of my paintings like “DOMESTIC ABUSE”, and “MY MOTHER, Her Majesty Platinum Jubilee: Her Rosy Reign” to name a few. Roses are for achievements and other positive parts of life and Thorns are painful challenges and negative parts of life.
