Acrylics, ink, oil pastels on paper.

This bird hatched from here.

Chimayo birds

Who knew that the peace dove will bring war?

But it's official - Carol L. and I started Bird Wars 2011.

Why?

Just for fun.

These are birds from a wooden carved door in one of Chimayo churches. Blue and black triangles are metal decor on the wall, dots, stripes and textures from here and there.

Birds of Santa Fe

These three photomontages are composed from photos taken in Santa Fe.

 Metal bird on the church gates in Chimayo combined with stars painted on a board found in Cerrillos and a sidewalk pattern in Santa Fe Farmers Market.

     These two doves were seen on the gate of an art gallery on Canyon road, together with floral pattern from a wooden cabinet they started to look like a lever mechanical toy.

     This one was inspired by Carol Leigh. We took the same picture in Santa Fe and she was the first to create a wonderful photomontage http://carolleigh.blogspot.com/2011/08/summery-color.html.

      I tried my best too. The bird and the tree are from two different murals, dark diamond pattern is from the chair upholstery in Santa Fe down town hotel. Oh, boy, getting these blues and pinks was mind twisting.
