Artist's Notes
(Oil on Canvas Bird Paintings, Florida's Pink Flamingos )

 

The subject of this original oil painting is the Pink Flamingo. The Flamingo is one of the most stereotypically familiar of birds, perceived as an iconic specialty bird from exotic locales.

 

The American flamingo is something of a hoax. It is indigenous to the islands of the Caribbean, from Haiti to Turks Island.  All this is not to say that there are no Pink Flamingos in Florida.  In fact, you will find several groups of them in the marshy waters outside of Miami.  Generally, however, experts believe that these flamingos are on the lamb from zoos or the pet trade. 

 

Whether the flamingos I see so rarely in the Florida wild are actually escaped zoo birds hardly matters to me. I'll take my flamingos however I can get them. Whether native to Florida or not, having the privilege to see and paint them is something for which to be thankful.
