Makes the painting even more full of intrigue!<br /><br />Choosing black as the color of the bird was a masterstroke.

I love when I see a painting telling a convincing story and this one simply shines with an original creativity. The choice of the bird (thief) is very appropriate, black, no name, no details, no recognizable evidence left. A viewer is forced to become an unintentional witness caught at the crime scene, inevitably involved and engaged to act NOW and make decisions. Should I walk away and forget about it? Should I report it? Yes I am curious to see what will happen next too. Should I take matters in my hands? There is a lot of self questioning and a strong mind-grabbing story develops rapidly.<br />On a side of possible improvements I would like to see a little more details and contrast on the strawberry and possibly wood bark. As you mentioned I am positive the photo does not do justice to the real painting.Lela Stankovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14304614164163728623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734923695875024838.post-84250574375193670612010-06-07T15:45:25.417-07:002010-06-07T15:45:25.417-07:00Very creative and put a smile on my face!

The black bird idea was a natural for me - they are even trying to get under the netting I put over my strawberries to protect them from predators!Claire Beadon Carnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15601511184498614133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734923695875024838.post-12200969337859203562010-06-05T12:38:50.356-07:002010-06-05T12:38:50.356-07:00I like the title.Nice work.

The strawberry is nice. The only suggestion I have is the center of the strawberry looks a little flat. Maybe a few seeds in this area might help. The shadow of the berry works well to anchor the berry.Angela Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04259497363075016359noreply@blogger.com
