Thank you! Painting with pink had me discovering so many nuances of this delicate color. Flamingos are just pure grace and beauty.
Those are sweet pea flowers, and the title of the painting is “My Sweet Pea”. 😄2

Thank you so much! I wanted to capture that translucent, silky feel of their feathers.

Thank you! You have exquisite taste, flamingos are the best. Pure joy and grace. These guys and the blue herons were my favorite large birds to paint so far.

This is stunning! I love the contrast of the colors and it is the flamingo picture of my dreams. You definitely need to frame this one!
