Flamingo: Mardi Gras

This is one of the latest in the Flamingo series: Mardi Gras! Professional grade watercolors on Arches cold pressed 140 lb paper. As per the feedback I've been getting on this piece--he is now 'pepto-bismal' pink to stand out a little more.

Kerra, this is wonderful!! I love the playfulness of the entire scene, with the fun loving flamingo ready to party!! Excellent job on the details and colors!! ~S

Kerra Lindsey
Artist Reply: Hey there, Susan! Thanks for your feedback on this Flamingo bird. I'm looking it over now and wondering if I shouldn't have made the hues darker?.....hmmmm....he seems to get kind of 'lost' by the pinks on the wall behind him. (pondering) I've been working on a series of this guy and he's been morphing into a whole 'new bird' as I'm progressing--it's almost to the point of real comedy now. Have you ever done any series? -Kerra

Kerra Lindsey
Artist Reply: Thanks so much, Miguel! This little guy will join his counterparts in a series submission for greeting cards. (fingers crossed here!) :) Hope everything is going great for you--Kerra

I love it!!!Shows both your talent and sense of humor,great work Kerra!!

Kerra Lindsey
Artist Reply: What a nice compliment, Randy! Doing the whimsical pieces in amongst the serious commissions makes for a nice 'break'. Art to me is always refreshing--and more so to dawdle in the silly side. :) Hope everything is going great for you! -Kerra

Kerra Lindsey
Artist Reply: Bianca! So very nice of you to stop by and leave feedback on this little guy. Never did I think Flamingos would be a 'thing' of mine--my relatives are in Lousiana and have a 'thing' for the birds. :) Hope your day goes great! -Kerra

Kerra Lindsey
Artist Reply: Hey, there, Fernando! Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving some feedback on this piece. It was a nice and welcomed break from more serious pieces I've been working on. Being able to just 'go at it' --without having to pay such close attention to likeness and dimensions was more than refreshing. Hope your day is going great! -Kerra
