Bye Bye Birdies

9/7/2012

I am a thrift store shopper.
Always have been.
I have been selling antiques and collectibles for years - so now when I am shopping - I simply look for paint and brushes and canvas in addition to all the other stuff I look for...

I found this BIG 4 foot square canvas with a bonus!

It had a great texture already on it.

I did google Thomas Lee and it was as I suspected.

A lousy 1970's furniture store art painting.

So no qualms for me to paint it over.

Pigeon eradication begins.

I never plan ahead what I am going to do.

I just start painting.

I found a little tube of ORANGE acrylic paint at Goodwill yesterday and put it to use here.

Added a little of this and a little of that...

and a little of that and a little of this....until "Requiem for Two Pigeons" was completed.

Just know the painting you painted over was stolen from my aunt's house in Desert Hot Springs..I know this because it was my painting I had that painting since I was 18. We were told it was destroyed in a house fire.
