This series of acrylic paintings began with the desire to replicate a nice photo I had of a Tufted Puffin. It looked nice on the wall, so I decided to give it some friends and soon there was a whole flock up there.
I have always been fascinated with birds. As fellow warm-blooded chordates they are very similiar to us internally in many ways yet physically so different, and of course there is that whole flying thing.
These paintings are also an exercise in simplicity for me. No context, just a bird.
