James McIntyre’s Classic Birds

260
6
This project combines my love of oil painting, sculpture, woodworking and metal working. I picked a few of my favorite artists and painted some of their paintings on these stylized birds I made. The outer frame and the birds bodies are made from mahogany and the birds tails are made from hard maple.
Getting ready to stretch the canvas on the frame I built. 
The birds feet are glued to the branch using epoxy after I sanded the branch and the underside of their feet.

The first member that names all 10 artist  who’s paintings are painted on the birds will be awarded 3 stars. 🎉😊


Thanks for taking the time to view and read my project. Comments are always welcome.

That's beautiful! I like little birds and would like to have a flock of waxbills. Wife doesn't like the mess they make. Maybe I should make a flock like you have. I do know that these are not waxbills.

So many skills in this project. Where’s the wings? And why is it posted twice?

Dr. Quackner

I’ll start with Dr Quackner’s comment. Thanks Doc.  I have no  idea what I did to post the project twice. Can’t delete it. And for the lack of wings on the birds I would say they’re not going anywhere anytime soon. 

Thank you Steve R. 

Thanks Dark_Lighting. It would to see a flock of Waxbills. No these are not Waxbills they’re just your average Classic Birds. 😊

Yeah, I'm thinking about those waxbills. Maybe pose them around my carving area for a bit of color.
