very nice, and its full of life and energy. the colors move nicely throughout the whole canvas creating a very pleasant image that's appealing to the eye. love the contrast, between the warm colors and cool colors. I think you have a winning style. thanks very much for displaying your nice image

Well I can see where you got the title from on this one. On the lower left corner there appears to be a small bird coming in for a landing. Once you see that, all of a sudden the painting is filled with birds. Planned or serendipity does not matter because this piece is filled with flight activity. Quite busy and interesting to view. Reasons for my five star vote.

This composition is unlike your others, even as you used your amazing technique of blending colors with unusual ingredients again. The black birds on the sun flooded sky are very impressive. The birds are beautiful. They remind of the Phoenix even as their feathers are black. Black birds are the bringers of doom in the old legends, but your black birds are bringers of happiness. The sky colors are beautiful. The contradiction of the black birds with the sun flooded sky is enthralling.

Comment from Sean T Phelan


Awesome,Suzanne!
This exciting abstract creation makes me think of an 'Unkindness' of Ravens ( sometimes called a 'Conspiracy' of Ravens ) bursting into flight and swirling about among materializing Demons,perhaps as the sun goes down on the day of one of the major Witches Sabbaths!
( Samhain maybe,or the Feast Day of Lilith the Elder! )
These wonderful creations of yours spur my ( sometimes Dark ) imagination,my friend,and I think that they're Outstanding! : D

    It actually never really hit us hard Suzanne. Further up north in florida and the rest of the east coast got hammered. We are very grateful, God was truly watching out for us.

Comment from Charlie Newman


I see a lot in this composition in addition to the abstract birds. I see lots of flowers. I also see the head of a dog, maybe a Collie, peaking downward. I also get a sense of motion and flight. Complex and beautiful composition. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from alaskapat


Oh wow! I love the sunset colors, shades of yellow, with bits of orange and there is even bits of blue sky under some silvery white clouds, the birds are silhouetted against the sky as they fly, I can even see the eyes on some of the birds! This is very pretty to view! It's a good entry for the contest as that yellow really pops in this one! Well created and presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!
