Giving - the Pheasant Project

much appreciated, da! this was definitely a palette departure from my normal work, but enjoyed using the more earthy hues. :0)

thanks, robin… hope you’re having a great weekend. :0)

thanks, lina! ya, i built this frame and then let it hang empty for a week. procrastination due to uncertainty about the palette. but what a surprise on the colors! as you mentioned i’m also feeling quite partial to it. the kids about begged me not to ship it b/c they liked it so much, asking that i just do another one for her instead. but… no dice. i was psyched too that a pheasant’s head has bright red and black! to your point… had to have the excuse to get those in there somewhere! thanks for the comments! :0)

very kind, linda, thanks! :0)

glad you iike it, joan… only it’s my hallway! still drying… :0)

thanks, b… glad it could be of some assistance on that. funny thing… a friend from work really liked it (i did a painting for his daughters) but commented that it looked like a pheasant that got hit by a truck! X-)

thanks, maria! :0)

maybe i’ll make it there someday, carmen! that would be cool. i actually really wanted to move to brisbane after college for some reason,, but it never happened. :0)

and yes… it’s at my house. that’s why the kids don’t want it to go!

it is defintely uncluttered! what’s funny is that the my desk is a mess, but i’m pretty strict about the rest of the house. on the light side, just putting up blinds now after 2 1/2 years of procastination. it gets very bright, which i love, but makes watching tv during the day almost impossible. and i guess that’s a good thing! :0)

hi, carley… not my colors either, hence why i waited a week to start it after building the frame! but glad you like it. will probably try this palette again sometime… :0)

RARELY do… rather be out trainnig for a triathlon! :0) of course winter is a comin’ round these parts, carmen… it’s moving into summer for you, yes?

thanks, maria… would have loved to kept it in the foyer, but had to ship it!

thanks, rachael! :0)

thanks! :0)

thanks, linda…

problem is that it is too big to ship to the client! found out this week that i may have to take it off the frame and send it in a tube. yikes!

thanks again, sula! i think you can probably see why i was so enthusiastic about coming across your work. we definitely have similar tastes… :0)

thanks, joanne. btw, you have beautiful works!

thanks, amigo! we had to remove it from the frame for shipping, as it was going to cost almost $300 based on the size to get it to seattle from DC. but, she got it reframed and all worked for the best. much obliged!

thanks, kathie! much appreciated given your painting abilities. :D

thanks, enoeda. appreciate you stopping by.

thanks!!
