Derold Page comments on his artwork, entitled 'Midnight Garden With Singing Bird', seen below. 

"This painting is a further example in my series of painted birdsong, which over the years has challenged me; how to interpret sound visually. This painting inspired by Tagor poem (also it's title) "FAITH IS THE BIRD THAT FEELS THE LIGHT AND SINGS WHEN THE DAWN IS DARK ", a real challenge to paint a night time garden, and then to invent the bird's song. 
Painted on mirror , finally I used a scalpel to scrape away paint from the centre of the stars, causing them to wink and shine in a magical way. Naturally it needed to be photographed in it's silver-leaf frame, also necessary due to it's shape being it's resond'etre."
