Strange Bird


I have finally finished this piece. It just needs a sleeve, so I can hang it.

It is titled “Strange Bird”, because the yellow bird in the tree thinks the flutist looks like a very strange bird.

 
We finally got the remaining trim on the house painted. I just have the porch and steps left, but I am procrastinating on that. I have the paint for it, but it will wait for me until I am in a house painting mood again.

Wow! Strange bird has come a long way since I last saw it. It looks more like your work now but still aa departure. There is something south seas Gauguinish about the piece. It attracts me with its wily hair and bright colors and free design. Kudos.

Thanks Nancy. I wouldn't have thought to compare this piece to Gauguin. But I do love his bold use of color. The plants and colors I chose for this piece have made it feel very tropical. The flowers and some of the leaves on the foreground tree are actually from a Hawaiian shirt.
