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 birds and the outer frame I made from mahogany. The birds tails are made from hard maple.
Getting ready to stretch the canvas on the frame I built.
The branch was dried out for over 18 months, then polyurethaned. It was sanded where the birds feet were epoxied.
Thanks for taking the time to view and read my project. Comments are always welcome.
Anyone that names all ten artist who’s paintings are painted on the birds first will be awarded 3 gold stars. 👍😊
Certainly not something you see everyday, which kinda adds to the cool factor. Nice work James. Great pic post. Stories to tell when people see it too, so it is effective from a lot of directions
