The Flamingo (painting)

This is a painting that I made as a gift for my mother. She collects flamingo related artifacts and I wanted to give her something nice to add to her collection. I made the composition from different source photographs that I pasted together in a digital collage, then traced and transferred the image onto the page and painted it! I've completely lost track of hours spent on this painting because it took me over three years to complete it working on a loose irregular rate.. I completed the painting in Jan of this year.


Dimensions are 10.5 inches wide by 12.5 inches tall. Medium is Gouache on Strathmore Smooth Bristol.
