| Bandit Series: The Red-winged Black Bird |
I'm always trying to think of some way to make the bird paintings more than just an ornithological work.Here I initially thought to have two birds holding a ribbon between them in their beaks. Then, to have one holding the ribbon. Finally, I decided the ribbon should be draped to create more movement. My House Critic's first take was, "that looks like a worm." (Hmmmm. Thought for a future series.). This series will be called Bandit and include items a bird may have taken for nest building. This guy will be very busy nest building as the bird is a highly polygynous species with as many as up 15 female mates.
