His Birds by Cindy Schnackel

Acrylic on linen canvas panel, 8 × 10 inches.

Companion painting, Her Bird:

I love that so many viewers zeroed right in on the bird looking up his nostril! I did that on purpose because one of our birds does that. These are rather generic parrots chosen more for their color than for any species. This is the kind of work where I just start, see where it leads me, and enjoy the sort of surreal absurdity and many possible meanings. I also enjoy viewers sharing their interpretations they may see in it.

hehe :) what is the bird looking for in its owner’s nostril?
Thanks, Anne, glad you noticed that, I wasn’t sure anyone would! One of our birds is fascinated by nostrils, so it just seemed the thing to do.
