Flamingo Friday by grammyn

Flamingo Friday

I painted this one yesterday and had planned to use it for today's photo when I saw the pathetic appeal for the album cover challenge from a friend (♥) so l decided to go ahead and enter that challenge with it.

Band: This Year's Model, which is actually the name of an album released by the English singer-songwriter Elvis Costello

Album: serious examination is false wit
taken from a quote by Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC)......."Humor is the only test of gravity, and gravity of humor; for a subject which will not bear raillery is suspicious, and a jest which will not bear serious examination is false wit."

Oh Katy this is just wonderful, I love your flamingo! Great album cover too.

Ha! That little snippet of the quote turns the meaning entirely on its end, doesn’t it? Great album cover. I keep meaning to do one. I better get my butt in gear right?
March 18th, 2023  
Ditto to the above!!

Very nice Katy. That is one thing I haven't started yet, but it is on my bucket list to pull out my oils and acrylics again.

@mcsiegle definitely got it right about the quote… I thought the same. I love your painting and the way you used it. The edge with the title reminds me of the way CD’s are (we’re?) packaged, but yours is much higher class!

@mccarth1 I really appreciate that Kerry
@mcsiegle thanks and, yes you better get something in gear for sure Mary. Yes the snippet changes it entirely
@granagringa so nice of you to say Madeline
@digitalrn thanks Rick It is a slippery slope because I start I don't want to do anything else. Watercolor is a new medium for me and I am loving it
@marilyn LOL That is actually the edge of the frame the painting is in but because the photo needed to be square format it doesn't show that way. I was too lazy to remove the painting so decided it would work well like this for the title or artist name. Thank you so much for the positive support as always

@grammyn I checked and I hadn't done one- got the artist and title today. Now we'll see if I have enough time to play around and pull it off.
