Shady Characters-Flamingos
Oil on 5x7 canvas panel.
This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Mike was the great host. Those were terrific reference photos.
I decided on these dramatically lit flamingos. The picture almost turns into an abstract with a slight squint of the eyes.
The mysterious shade/colors was the challenging feature of this.
Hope you like it!

Romans 8:26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.
