these are my most recent large watercolors.
though i have done nearly 10 more little birds and a large acrylic and oil since.
i have been pretty productive, and the birds give me alot to chew on.
i would love to know what yall think about these
they go back and forth in their potency but i dont show the ones i dont like here or at the gallery.
for me, the birds are a great excuse to make an abstraction, or as close as i can get at this point to something interesting in that color field and reinterpretation of an image format i like so much.
workin on some portraits now, got balloon fiesta kickin so its crazy in my neck of the woods, not to mention the other stuff.

i like the bottom red one better than the top one...the image pops better to me...and i like the central placement of the image...not sure why...sorry trav...brief remarks...will study these in more detail later...
i agree with tim the bottom red one is stronger...i think what's going on is that when the birds stick out more, the painting is stronger and that intense purple takes away from the bird. the birds are so beautiful and the attention really needs to go there and i think if you used lighter, duller background washes the birds would stick out more...
but with the top purple one i do love how you started to put abstration just a little bit into the leaves...great little accent...huh...actually i love the branches...you could do a painting of just a branch and it'd be pretty awesome, i think...
thanks for posting!!!!!
