Description

A cute, rounded and doll-like bluebird perches among flowering spring branches, softly and gently. In sweet shades of blue and violet, this painting makes a simple statement about the coming of spring.

According to:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluebird
The bluebirds are a group of medium-sized, mostly insectivorous or omnivorous birds in the genus Sialia of the thrush family (Turdidae). Bluebirds are one of the few thrush genera in the Americas. They have blue, or blue and rose beige, plumage. Female birds are less brightly colored than males, although color patterns are similar and there is no noticeable difference in size between the two sexes.
Of all the birds a gardener could choose to attract, the bluebird is the quintessential helpful garden bird. Gardeners go to extreme lengths to attract and keep them in the garden for their advantageous properties. Bluebirds are voracious insect consumers, quickly ridding a garden of insect pests.
Songwriters have adopted the bluebird as a symbol of happiness and cheer.
According to:

There is the mythology of the bluebird of happiness that reaches back thousands of years. Bluebirds are a widely accepted symbol of cheerfulness, happiness, prosperity, hearth and home, good health, new births, and the renewal of springtime. In magical symbolism, bluebirds are used to represent confidence in the positive aspect and egotism in the negative.
