I've finally decided to embrace my love for bird images in my artwork and therefore, I've begun a series. This series is based on two different bird images and I'm having a blast with them. I've completed four pieces already and I know I've got a few more to go before I feel complete. Each of the following pieces will be on display at the Laveen Art League Gallery showing this week. So, if you are interested in purchasing one (or more) of them, please email me for details (you can find my address in the right sidebar).
Black Birds is created on a 6x12 canvas, quickly becoming one of my favorite sizes because of its length.
Red Bird Singing is on a 6x6 canvas. I absolutely enjoyed every moment of creating this piece. It was just pure fun. In fact, I created this piece in between working on Black Birds and Wild Scribbles (below) so when I completed it, it felt like a freebie.
Wild Scribbles is a bit different for me. I'm not normally so...well...bright and wild. Sometimes it's fun to experiment with new ideas, though. I think that I'll pursue this idea a bit more in the future. I actually started this piece months and months ago, got interrupted with other assignments and finally finished it. My favorite parts of this one are the acrylic skins. This is a biggie at 16x20 inches.
Finally, I recreated my Lovebirds for a technique video (to be released in the Spring). This one won Honorable Mention at the September LAL judged show. I was pleased as punch!
I just can't tell you how much fun I'm having working in a series. I highly suggest it!

Gorgeous! How big is the Lovebirds piece? It would look pretty hanging in our master bedroom :)
P.S. I didn't know about your Honorable Mention in September--congrats!
Hi Becky! I just emailed you. :)
Oh, loving those birds, oh my! ...and what a different style for you, those bold black lines and swirly swirls. I just immediately thought of that post below about style and how it was suppose to always be the same. Not so, I think!
