I mentioned a couple of posts ago that I was about to go on a Flamingo – painting binge. You know, those gorgeous, brilliant salmon , pink , red , white colors of the fun iconic Florida bird. The idea came to me because the guest bedroom in our new (old but new to us) home is painted a bright, beachy aqua, so what better to set off the wall color than these fun birds?
Here, I present you a few finished products. I hope our guests enjoy them and I hope you do to. I sure had fun painting them! They’re acrylic paintings, glazed to preserve a luminous glow.
This one is a tiny 3″ x 12″ deep gallery-wrapped canvas. Stands cutely on a bookcase!
Here’s a big momma! This flamingo painting is a 12 x 36 inch one, again, on wrapped canvas.
And here with have a Flamingo with attitude! Preening itself in the Florida salt air. This cutey is also 12 x 36 inches.
I kinda love this one of a gaggle(?) of Flamingos at feeding time along the water’s edge.
