Obviously I love birds. Animals of most kinds (millipedes are definitely left off the list!), actually. But I seem to be able to paint what I feel for birds, as opposed to dogs or cats. I like the neutral background - rather than it 'being nowhere', I find it focuses more on the character of the bird. Or am I crazy?
Not crazy at all...I did notice that you tend to have a solid background on your bird paintings...it works...
ReplyDeleteI like the plain backgrounds on your birds. And I love the soft edges on this little guy, especially around his breast and feet. And his tail. The twinkle in his eye is great, too ... makes him seem a little mischievous!
ReplyDeleteI really like the bird painting you have in your blog header, too ... the colors, and the way the birds are grouped ... very nice!
You do birds really good!!
