I Found A Trove Of Iridescent Paints On The Verge Of Expiry… So I’m Making A Series With Them
During lockdown, I cleaned up my absolute disaster of a work station and found what remained of a sweet sweet cache of paints from a liquidation sale in 2013. Way too many tubes of iridescent paint.
So I thought, WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH THESE?!! They are drying out, just like me.
I took inspiration from Gustav Klimt for this series. Realism flowing forth from planes of pattern, and so much shiny. How many hours I’ve put into this series so far, I cannot say. Lots. Many. Big Hours. And it’s not finished yet. So much more paint to get through.
Why birds? Because birds make me happy. Just hearing them outside makes the world a better place.

This artists work is so special: clearly she's talented, but what an arch sense of humour to boot!
Im a proud owner of Rachel Parry's work *, particularly of Birdsong, shown above. I love her painting style and themes, and have enjoyed watching her grow as an artist over the years. By the way, I'm Alan Arsenault. *I'm not an owner of Rachel herself...as there is no cage strong enough to hold her.
For such a nice comment, today you get to have the title of Alan Arsenault. <3

One of my favourite collections from this extremely talented artist. Just wait until she hits you with her Old Remasters series!
Thanks Bex! <3 I was thinking of that one next! ...Probably give it a couple weeks to spread these series' out. :D
