"Keets and Cocktails"

This painting is of 10 white baby parakeets standing in front of a wall of cocktail umbrellas. I painted it so that the birds on both sides are in shadow so only the center birds and umbrellas are highly lit. One bird is showing off for his friends. The size of the painting makes the birds slightly larger than life. This one took a while to complete. I didn't have any umbrellas or white parakeets that would sit still long enough, so most of this is imaginary.

Catchy title I know.... I'm whistling "Strangers In The Night" as I sit here wondering what to call this painting and that doesn't help a bit. I'll come up with something better. I hope.

Funny thing. I had this drying in a sunny window yesterday and the light was hitting it so that there was a distinct highlight that I had not painted in. I had to cast a shadow to be sure. I liked it so much I took a picture and then painted in the additional highlight today.
