101 BIRDS - Painting #13

I don't think that I'm superstitious, but there are things I don't do. Like - I don't use number 13 when I give names to my files. I simply skip it. I'll have files named something like: blog_11, blog_12, blog_14 etc. No blog_13. Weird, I know. I actually don't mind the 13th day of the month, even if it's Friday. But for my files - I just don't use it. Well, when you are making a series of paintings, you can't just pretend that the thirteenth one doesn't exist, so here it is.
The funny thing is that I think I like this painting the most. I'm not sure why. Something about the colors, or the fact that the bird is weird maybe... 
Speaking of numbers - PPF is celebrating birthday #1 and hosting a giveaway!

  7. I LOVE everything about this- the composition and slightly surreal feel to it all plus the colors- the over all effect is wonderful!

  8. Wonderful painting! I agree -- the colours are great and that bird really has character!

    P.S. Did you know you still have word verification/captcha on? Unless you have serious spam issues it really deters commenting as it is so hard to read.

  19. Your little 13th bird has a peculiar expression. Like he's been in hiding for so many years and this is the first time he's been exposed, he's a bit gun shy I suppose. yay for bird #13!

  20. The colors in the roofs and the dots in the background intrigue me....looks like 13 is a lucky one this time :D

  22. This is wonderful! I love the muted tones with pops of colors in the rooftops... And the background texture is spectacular! Seeing how well #13 turned out, you might just have to change your thinking about the number :)

  28. love your birds. btw. My Dad used # 13 all his life as his number and he was a fighter pilot, aerobatics pilot and hockey player and it was lucky for him! He died in his sleep at age 89. Now I use 13 whenever I get the chance!
