Ostrich Festival 2008

These pictures are of the Ostrich I did for Chandler's Ostriches on Parade. They were displayed in Down Town Chandler in honor of the annual Ostrich Festival. The piece I did was called "In Frida's Garden". When I saw my ostrich for the first time her face reminded me of Frida Kahalo's. It took several tries and just as many white washings of the poor bird to finally get the garden right. My favorite part of the piece were the hummingbirds. I was very honored to have been given the opportunity to do something for the community.
