A Bird Family Painting

Sometimes and idea pops into my brain and due to its silliness, I dismiss it as not being worthy. Which is what initially happened when I got this Bird Family concept in my head.
I didn't know if such a thing would be well received or not, and when one of my friends named her youngest daughter, Violetta, I just had to go with it.

Around Christmas time, my friend had asked me a few times about doing a commissioned piece and while I wanted to; mismatched schedules got the both of us and it never happened. :(  I however wanted to paint this piece and give it as a gift because it was a quirky idea and well I just really wanted to, plain and simple.  

Liquitex spray paints graced the background

Initially, I like the simplicity of the birds.

But as with many projects I start, simplicity 

just isn't in my nature. 

Many artists will agree that knowing when to 

"stop" is a gut instinct.

This piece has many wonderful layers, including paper

for the wings. 

I love the vibrancy of the colors and that the love they

share as a family is shown.

Under each of the (baby) birds is each child's name and birth-date.

Under the parents is their name and wedding date.

I'm very pleased to say that it was VERY well received!! 

I love when my work elicits smiles and joy, nothing can beat that!

I would love to sell these custom "bird families", or any animal 

of your choice! If you are interested or if you know someone 

who is interested then send them my way :)
