Today, I thought we'd look at some very whimisical art featuring people and birds. That's right--two different artists depicting people doing something with birds. Peculiar, isn't it? So lets get right to it... Artist #1: Dominique Fortin A Montreal-based artist, Fortin's work has a very ethereal, fairy-tale-esque quality to me. Her paintings seem to reside in the childhood world of play, and of magic, and because of this, I couldn't enjoy her work more (I was a big believer in fairies when I was young!). She does a wide variety of paintings of various subject matter, but I've only included the works that contain birds below. You can view more of her work on her website, here. Artist #2: Elizabeth Mayville Although her work is extremely different than Fortin's, I adore Mayville's paintings because of their style and peculiarity. Straightforward, yet totally bizarre, I'm in love with her portraits of people with birds on their heads, which I've included below. I mean, how funny, right!? But if you take a look at her site, you'll see that Mayville is an EXTREMELY talented painter, whether she's depicting people, wildlife, or still life. I love her style, and hope you do, too! You can view more of her work on her website, here. Makes me want to paint some birds, you know?
So here's to a day full of whimsy, playfulness, and the somewhat bizarre ;) Namaste! Mary Catherine Comments are closed.
