Flamingo In Reeds - Intarsia

[FrankEV]

The Gallery, where I exhibit some of my work, will be presenting “50 Shades of Pink: October Legacy”, a month-long exhibition in tribute to Breast Cancer Awareness Month. While thinking Pink, I recalled previously creating an Intarsia pattern based on a coloring book page that featured a Pink Flamingo standing on one leg among reeds and cattails.  Hopefully, my 12x18 inch scene, mounted fixed within in a 1” wide x 1” high rail shadow box frame of a “Pink” Flamingo will be accepted for display in the exhibition.  Wood used:  Aspen, Aromatic Cedar, Black Limba, Bloodwood, Mango, Poplar, Rosted Flame Birch, Sepele, Wenge, Yellowheart, and Peruvian Walnut for the Frame. The extended backer is 1/4” thick Birch Ply that was painted with an Air Brush.   The piece was protected with a Clear Gloss Acrylic Finish.

Comments and critiques always welcome.

The Idea was to do something Pink for the exibition.  Flamingos are pink.  The Aromatic Cedar is quite pink, but unfortunately tones down when finish is applied.  The photo also makes it look less pink then when viewed live.

Thought about giving the post a "like" but "WOW" seemed more appropriate.
