These flamingos were my second painting in my acrylic painting class. I really like flamingos and am slowly adding touches of pink to my gray and purple bedroom. I also had a Giclee printing made of this painting and put it in a matted frame to set on my nightstand. My son and daughter-in-law gave me several organizing containers that are pink with white polka dots. They add a cute whimsy feel to the room.

I love flamingos because they are awkward and goofy, and perhaps I identify with that. When they walk in a group, they look a little like paranoid private investigators, peaking around corners and pattering around. They’re so weird and cute and wonderful!
