| "Martini , please!" Acrylic $95 |
This is a funny painting. I think this bird wanted a martini so bad that he had a little accident! I laugh when I see it. The shadow ended up looking more like a puddle, so I thought, I'll just make it abstract by putting stripes through it. Well, that made the shine show even more! So I thought, "it is what it is!" Secondly, I'm not going to tell you what kind of bird this is, cuz I'm not sure what it looks like! I collaged the top part with torn napkins, and then painted on top of them, using black acrylic. This painting is almost all acrylic, in fact, beside the collage. I had to put 2 olives in the martini, because I really like them!
Fun indeed! I love the background and the stripes that you included - makes a nice design and composition. The bird looks just fantastic drinking it's martini - he looks like is swilling a big gulp being all puffy!
ReplyDeleteYes, Pattie, he's full of martini, so he's got a full belly. This painting is comical to me on so many levels. Today I'm going to do a caricature type one, just to let loose and make it easy for myself. Thanks for your comments!
DeleteThe bird had an accident! karen - i LOVE it. i can picture you thinking/writing/giggling about that and I love it.
ReplyDeleteYes, once everything started going wrong as I was painting this, I just went with it, and did start giggling. Thanks, Hez!
DeleteHi Karen, This gives new meaning to the term "wet bar". The bird does have a gull look about him, maybe a Bonaparte gull or something. I am enjoying watching your daily paintings; they're inspiring and fun!
ReplyDeleteLove that title, Wet Bar. Next time! Love your guesses about the type of bird it is. I'll never tell.... :)
DeleteLove the olives in the background and the black behind them to make them really stand out!!
