4 x 4  three d. construction.... See up in right corner..

I just finished a 5 x 5 flamingo surfer 3 dimensional construction with two flying fish.  I am having trouble uploading on this site, so go to www.flamingoart.net and see it on the first page.

With the help and artistic advice of Nephew Doug the Bloodshot eyed surfer, I have a vision on how to finish the 16 x 20 unfinished acrylic picture above under title of "Picture of the Month"...

My 16 x 20 canvas of flamingo graffiti writers has gone, for the moment, out of control.!!. I find myself staring at it constantly, probably looking for more order....  The picture seems to convey the inner turmoil that city dweller famingos seem to find in themselves at times, that is to say the least.

 

I wrangled my nephew Doug from the driveway this morning as he was on his way to the beach to check out the surf.  I needed his artistic input. He looked tossled and bloodshot and blurry eyed.  He said it was because he had been surfing every day for a week.. The storm Ophelia had made my beach a surfing mecca this week.. He told me to drip the graffiti wall colors down even farther to the roadway.     Well, more chaos is exactly what may be called for...  Don't try to reign it in... Well, with works that come deep from the imagination, we never know how a picture will turn out. 

I have a persistant itch to draw grafitti flamingos.  Big City Wall Writers who write LOVE and other good messages all over their funky city.  I got a 16 x 20 canvas which you can hang on the wall without a frame.  I am in the process of drawing my figures in with pencils.  Next I think I'll start on another 11 x 14 Christmas Flamingo picture, maybe.   In the meantime I'm having a great time giving life to my characters, many of whom have their caps on backwards, a persistant theme of mine.
