Love Birds
Current mood: 
creative
I have resurrected a painting I did in 2006 called Love Birds. It is one of my recent favorites for a number of reasons, including their colors and what they represent, love. According to wikipedia, love birds are called love birds because they are a very social and affectionate parrots. It kind of reminds me of my grandparents' parrots. It is thought that these birds when kept in captivity should remain in pairs (not unlike goldfish). They also form long-time relationships with humans (also not unlike goldfish).

*Giclee (pronounced "zee-clay") comes from the French word, "fine spray". It is a digital plotter-based (large format) print that is produced by the application of millions of tiny ink droplets sprayed onto fine art paper or canvas. The archival based inks used are specially formulated so that the fine print heads spray droplets at a resolution of 1200 dpi. The media used is also of archival grade and can last from 100 to 200 years. The visual quality of the print is extremely high and the color saturation and definition stunning.
I just listed this digital acrylic print of an Old Red Door at a Spanish Mission in Santa Barbara, CA.

I was digging through my stuff and looking for paintings that I hadn't finished and could list on Etsy. I realized I wasn't being very prolific and if I don't have muse now... I did in the past. I was inspired to paint this red door. It reminded me of something one of my painting teachers would say about history. I didn't put too much history by the means of actualy layers of paint, although there are several. I felt the door itself had it's own history.
I really liked the photograph that inspired it. It gave itself well to a painting rendition- the stucco walls. I also love red doors.
