Now that I've just finished my third Flamingo painting I'll call it a series ... I've lived in Florida and never painted them before.
This is my latest one, and the other 2 are somewhere below.
Although I've seen many in person, this one was a photo from Wet Canvas.
It will fit in an 18x24" frame, done on Arches 140lb. c/p paper. I've used a mix of brown madder, new gamboge, rose madder . Background was mostly from Indigo, touch of alizarin, and new gamboge, but very little water. BJ
I really like your flamingos...this one is such a beautiful coral color. One of highlights of visiting FLorida for sure....thanks for taking me there in the middle of a snowy winter.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting what you say about "3 or more". In that case, I have a 'collection' of rubbish watercolours ... or should I call them a 'series'? lol.
ReplyDeleteThis painting is the best of your Flamingo series in my opinion. I love the colours and the feather texture is superb. Fabulous work as always. ;)
BJ, it's lovely. Your work is amazing. I am sure that I have said that before, but every time I visit your blog, it is indeed a treat and inspiration. Keep them coming.
ReplyDeleteYour welcome Cynthia,
ReplyDeleteJohn , I doubt that ... I've seen your watercolours.
Joan, thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, He's lovely..or she.love,Diana
ReplyDeleteUn sueño su flamenco, los colores son muy atractivos y me gusta mucho el resultado que logro con sus pinceladas.
ReplyDeleteYou are so good at these beautiful birds! And how nice to have a series going on too ;0)
ReplyDeleteStunning piece, BJ! I envy all birds' ability to get comfortable just within themselves. I want to cuddle up next to this big bird!
ReplyDeleteDear BJ love your flamingos...the pose is super too - just the way I have seen them on T.V. Take care friend and thanks for sharing. Love Debbie
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Barbara. I think you have a great series going and I look forward to seeing new additions!! Hope all is well -- terribly busy here - being President of our large art society is taking way more time than I had hoped.
