Description
When I paint a bird, I seek to satisfy only one person, the boy I used to be, besotted with birds, burning with a desire to travel, and to be an artist in the tradition of the illustrators of the books I so cherished, and to be able to paint the exotic birds I would one day see. I think he would have liked this one. The painting is 22.5 by 13.75 inches, and is painted on the back of a kitchen cupboard door made of compressed wood fiber. When the kitchen was recently renovated, I was seeing breaks in supply chains for art supplies because of the pandemic. When I saw all the kitchen cupboard doors removed and ready to be taken to landfill, I decided to save those I could use to paint on. They’re heavy and solid. Fortunately the birch panels or compressed hardboard I normally use for oil paintings are returning to the art store.
