Curious Reflections - Flamingos
This painting was inspired after a friend visited Africa. He is an incredible photographer and brought the inspiration back with him. I often take certain aspects from different photos to create a balanced composition that I can put together on an artwork. I love the movement in the water and the reflections it creates and hence the naming of this piece, “Curious Reflections”
Flamingos are water dwelling, tropical birds. They often stand on one leg to preserve body heat. The backward bending ‘knee’ of a Flamingos leg is the birds ankle, the birds knee is actually close to the body. Flamingos are strong but rare swimmers and powerful fliers. They eat for several hours a day, holding their bent beaks upside down while feeding and filtering out food from the water.
