Put a Bird On It

8/9/2012

1 Comment

 
The TV series "Portlandia" coined the phrase "put a bird on it", and though it may be true that many artists use birds in their paintings, the trick is to make it your own. After all, it's just a shape--and a very useful design element around which you can build a painting.

My "Birdland" series consists of almost 30 paintings I've done over the past year or so. I decided to package a few favorites into a set of cards which I'll be selling via my website sometime in September/October. The large 5x7 size makes them suitable for framing. My photographer did a test run at the printer's so I could review the color quality--I'm very pleased with the results.

Liz - my hard drive crashed a while back and I lost your email. I want to ask you about the MAC class. Will it be too basic for me?? Not that anything could be too basic. I got so inspired last Fall in your class BUT this may be a different format. What do you think? Julie Harris

Your birds are stupendous - I love each one but the owls are to die for. I want to do some birds!! Thanks, Julie
