This piece is part of a series of little sculpture birds with flower vases. When I put these 2 elements together it looked to me as if the bird and the flowers were having a conversation, and I liked that idea, it creates a relationship between the two. There are 3 of these wire-legged sculpture birds in the set, and this tall, leggy bird looks good with the tall vase. I painted the vase, flowers and bird's breast with the same red mixture to match the mat I planned to mount the painting in. This creates visual harmony and relationship between the elements. I've been collecting little bird sculptures to use in still life paintings. I also have a fun collection of florals that my sister-in-law creates. The 2 elements together are cute and fun to draw and paint. I've been drawing all my life and enjoy it still. I especially like how ink drawing and watercolor look together, and you can see that in this painting. My intention with this series is to create fun, happy, playful art that I hope brings smiles to those who view them. This piece is part of a series of little sculpture birds with flower vases.
