10 x 8 Oil on Linen Panel
This is my personal birdie, Sambuca. She's quite photogenic, and although I'm sure these birds are as common as our pigeons, in the Congo, I think she's exceptional. And beautiful, so of course it's been my intention to paint her. I adopted her when she was 6, and she's been with me for 8 years, so she's a teenager going on two. Bird people will know what I mean.
Now Sambuca will live forever in this beautiful painting. Is that red I see on her wings? Wow... I bet the effect is quite stunning. You have painted her with lots of emotion. This is quite wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLooks as though Sambuca is having lively conversation with the red apple! A great painting with personality to spare!
ReplyDeleteOh so cute. What a small world. I have an African Grey with a very large vocabulary. You did amazing job on this. Love it.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful painting of a beautiful African Grey. I had one in college. His name was Garp. All was going well until I met this girl named Karen. I left for a week one time, with Karen in charge of Garp and vice versa. Garp was on the bed with Karen. He ran up the bed, jumped on her chest and bit a hole through Karen's nose. I came home and one of them had to go.
ReplyDeletePS, Garp had to go. Karen is still here. :)
