L'oiseau avec le chapeau et le fleur
Wow - I'm amazed I remembered any French at all. I only took 6 years of it!! I figured the best therapy for my addled brain and exhausted spirit was to make a happy, silly bird. His beret is a bit funky but I didn't look at any pictures. If not a beret - well then a yarmulke! I worked all day on this one (with a few breaks) because I had prepared the canvas before I left for NY. I have sold one of my birds in a local gallery and tomorrow is the Art Walk in town - so I wanted to get at least one more in there. I'm linking to Paint Party Friday - go and check the fabulous artists participating. Thanks for visiting with me.

I love your quirky bird -together with his little hat and huge beak - which must be very handy for picking flowers without having to bend! I like the vivid colour and texture - and would love to see on Mandarin Orange Monday:)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Lorik - I use a lot of orange in my paintings and didn't know about Mandarin Orange Monday. I did add my link and photo.
DeleteThank you so much for adding it to MoM! It has perfect company - beside it is an orange crocodile:))
Deleteyour humour is catching,and the bird fetching!
ReplyDeleteHi Gina, this is a great color combo, and fun little guy holding a flower with his beak ;o)

DeleteThat is gorgeous!
