| "Bird Brains" |
Have you ever had "one of those days"? Today was that day for me! I started out the day, intending to paint not ONE, but TWO paintings, so I would be ahead of the challenge, so that when I babysit later in the week, that I could pull one out of a hat, so to speak. Anyway, I knew what I wanted to do. I had a PLAN. Step one, CHECK! Below is my sketch that I had done, using Tombow markers last year. And I thought it would be fun to turn that into a painting. I realized that I didn't like the position of the two birds, so I changed that.

So, I thought I would use pure watercolor for a change. But, it had been awhile since I'd painted with ONLY watercolor, and I was definitely out of practice. So, after 4 hours struggling, I finally looked at the painting, and realized that I needed more whites, so out came the acrylics. Another hour later, I finally finished the painting, and decided to call it "Bird Brains", due to the fact that I felt like a bird brain myself today! This is 11" x 11" image, and is available for $95.
Immediately was drawn to this in 30 on 30.
ReplyDeleteLove your changed composition and the cubist/collage quality.
It turned out so well, it was worth the challenge!
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE! Your design is so Fabulous,, wished I could steal some and make huge glass mosaics out of them.. but I promise I wouldn't do that. You got it going on again this year. might have to have one of your works because you just inspire me so much to turn Contemporary! Thanks for sharing.
