Do you use as extender with your acrylics?<BR/>-nevermind I just reread what you said- Airbrush- AHA!<BR/><BR/>I want maybe a little space to the left of the cage. Possibly the same distance the bird's beak is from the right-hand border?

But I see it as this: the bird that has left the cage is blazing the trail, showing the one that's still in the cage that it's possible, even preferable, to go your own way. The question that remains unanswered is whether the remaining bird follows after the one that's leaving.<BR/><BR/>Cecilia-<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the kind words. I'm not sure if you want to know the title or the technique, so I'll give you both:<BR/>The piece was done for the cover of a book called "Fly Away Home". The technique is acrylics (airbrushed and traditionally painted) on illustration board. The original had a white background, but I think the black makes a bolder statement, so I changed it in Photoshop.Rick Lovellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01437378441435183750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13280732.post-1127666570568364262005-09-25T12:42:00.000-04:002005-09-25T12:42:00.000-04:00hi! i love your drawings ,they are very beautiful!...hi! i love your drawings ,they are very beautiful!, whats the specific name of this art?, i´ll be back, kisses.Cecilia's Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05535312431662588499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13280732.post-1127609550068124932005-09-24T20:52:00.000-04:002005-09-24T20:52:00.000-04:00divorce?divorce?Valainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10012556578970694242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13280732.post-1127416242087002772005-09-22T15:10:00.000-04:002005-09-22T15:10:00.000-04:00I like this.

I also love the vibrant colors of the birds against the black background. Meaning...well...why does one bird choose to go and one choose to stay when the door is open? One could take this as a metaphor for people who choose the stay within their comfort zone, fearing the unknown that comes with the freedom of wider parameters. I dunno...I just like it. I like your poor fish as well...you "do" excellent glass and water. Poo to anonymous :>carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650904230033262702noreply@blogger.com
