BIRTHDAY FLAMINGO

"Hot Pink" 15x 30 Oil

My granddaughter loves flamingos, so I painted this one for her birthday.

She has a nice little apartment that needed some art and now it is hanging in a place of honor.  I wanted it to be beautiful, but a little funky, which fits her.

Here is a photo when it was presented to her:

FERNAN WATERLILY

In an earlier post, our plein air visit to Fernan Lake was shared by video.  Just now got around to photographing the pastel painting I completed.  

Always, when first surveying an area for a painting, it's a little overwhelming how many colors are actually there.  Then comes, the decisions how to portray what one sees.  This is what I came up with.  


The photo does not show the brightness of the actual painting.
