I have a special fondness for Bobwhites since I heard their call often from the woods behind my childhood home. I don't remember seeing any pheasants but I thought they would make an interesting addition to my painting. The more, the merrier? I painted it for an upcoming juried show. I wanted to make an etching but knowing how time consuming that can be, I thought that a painting made more sense since the entry deadline for the show was fast approaching! You can see my painting in person and others in the show here:

Around here, these kinds of birds are chatty !
ReplyDeleteOn your painting they look ready to fly ...
One question (sorry) about the upper pheasants : are they at the right place ?
One more :
why don't you show your art on "images_et_mots" ?

On the road to NL

ReplyDeleteDo your birds sound like the one in this video?

Don't worry...sometimes I can't resist and put things in odd places. I know, it does look a little strange!
I don't know why I have hesitated to show my art there. Maybe I'll show my new butterfly painting there when it's finished.
Happy travels!
