Flamingo Arrival 28 x 16

While watching the flamingos at the Sacramento zoo, I saw this one was running through the water in all his glory, wings wide as if to proclaim his arrival. He was beautiful.  I wanted to create a piece that would reflect his bold yet elegant attitude. 

Like painting with strokes of fabric, this one of a kind art work was created by meticulously adding hundreds of tiny pieces of fabric to a canvas and stitched together creating depth and movement.
