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.
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. 😊
