[Art] Lyrebird as Firebird.

Lyrebird as Firebird

Based on the Australian lyrebird, this is yet another unusual interpretation of the firebird / phoenix. Crappy lighting kind of means crappy photo, next time the sun is out, I'll get a better one. The flash mangles pastels, the purple actually isn't anywhere that bright in the picture in natural light.











In the same series as:

looks like the brush around the bird is going to catch on fire - very striking.

The lighting on that is *stunning*.

[secrets-n-lies.livejournal.com]

Beautiful!

Ooooooooooooh

I'd say something more coherent later. But...Lupa's right. The lighting is gorgeous. I think you've captured the hypnotic so-pretty-I-will-keep-looking-at-it aspect of fire here. It's like a secret in the dark.

Epic!

[bodylove.livejournal.com]

I love it

[bodylove.livejournal.com]

I can't stop looking at it - it's very amazing to me, calming and protecting - I think it's the way the bird blocks out the environment and seems to be in a safe, glowing, protected, magical and peaceful space, unaffected by the harsh world around

I love this more that I can possibly describe in words. I wish I hadn't lost my job, or I would totally be buying this. ;_;

[white9-fox.livejournal.com]

200$ seems like a good price for a lovely piece like this.

If it's still around in a month and a half, I'm buying.

Belle, belle, belle (beautiful) :)

Like I said on facebook, the dirty fingers were worth it! WOW! This is by far my favorite "as firebird" piece!

[wynkat1313.livejournal.com]

wow. just... wow.

Actually, pastel work is not nearly in the same ballpark as my drawing stuff, because skilled pastel paintings are rare and hard to come by. $200 is not a 'good price,' it would be 'giving my work away.'

I've never sold any pastel piece below $700 - even when my prices for everything else were low. Thankfully my grandfather gave me a good thing in life when it came to pastels - the recognition that skilled pastel work on large paper is worth a fuckload. An equivalent artist, selling something one fifth the size of this, wouldn't let it go for less than $600.

Oh, my, that is gorgeous.
