Birds in Acrylic

My acrylic birds are part of a series of 31 paintings, each placing a different bird within its own still life.

I love bringing together the colors and markings of the bird with flowers, plants, patterned fabrics, vases, and everyday objects, creating a little world around each one. The still life becomes just as much a part of the painting as the bird, giving me a chance to play with color, pattern, and the relationship between everything in the scene.
