The House of Flame
Bowerbirds are famous for their knack in making an extraordinary nest in order to find a mate. One of them is the gorgeous male Flame Bowerbird who has skills in making an inverted arch for a nest. Once an interested female Bowerbird walks though the arch and likes what she sees, she selects the male as her mate!
This is an original mixed media painting on dark violet colored handmade paper, with gouache, embroidery threads and beads . The size of the painting is approximately 5" x 7" and is mounted in a float frame. The overall size of the frame is approximately 6"x8". It comes varnished with 2 coats of Krylon Kamar spray varnish to ensure protection from sunlight over time.
The frame is handmade in my home studio from pinewood and has a double coat of dark espresso water based varnish. It comes in two parts that are attached with screws on the back. If ever need be, the painting can be detached from the outer frame by removing the said screws.
Artist's signature with the date on the side and back of the frame.
PS: The last video is to show the process of making the artwork
