Bird in Hand is a 22x28" oil painting on canvas.
Created from the figure of speech "One bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush." The phrase first appears in a British folk ballad published in 1781 as a lyric from a song entitled 'A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush' and is listed as being 'Sung at Vauxhall' [London].
The Lyrics were:
Gay Strephon declares I'm the girl in his mind,
If he proves sincere, I'll be constant and kind,
He vows that tomorrow he'll make me his wife,
I'll fondly endeavour to bless him for life,
For all other fwains I care not a rush,
One bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
