Blush Flamingo - Original Watercolor

$500.00

Blush Flamingo

Sometimes there isn't a complicated story behind a painting. I wanted to paint a flamingo.

I had every intention of suggesting the feathers rather than painting them all, and somewhere along the way the flamingo had other ideas. What I ended up loving most was the color—the coral reds, soft pinks and cool blues—and his expression. There's something wonderfully coquettish about him, like a burlesque dancer peeking over a feather fan.

Honestly, I think he knows exactly what he's doing.

Original 12×16 watercolor on paper. Sold unframed and unmatted so it can be finished to your taste. Shipped flat with archival protective materials.

Because original watercolor paper sizes don’t always correspond to standard ready-made frames, custom matting or framing may offer the best fit.
