Artwork description:
The original idea for this series of paintings was inspired by bird watching at home and in nature. I created a garden in my backyard to attract birds and butterflies. While watching birds I was intrigued by both their movement and the way their colors change during times of the day, seasons of the year and all kinds of weather.
I was not interested in portraying images of birds in a natural way or with exacting realism. I wanted to express my observations of birds and nature. What intrigued me was their movement, color changes and gesture. Depending upon the time of day, the season of the year and weather conditions the birds appear to change color, size and position instantly and frequently. This transformation is engaging and surprising much like the way life goes. I wanted to represent my observations and my emotional response to bird watching.
Materials used:
plaster, texturizing tools, palette knife, acrylic washes, oil paint
