A Painting of A Pair Of Boobies - 1st and 2nd of 3 Layers- Orginal Art By Red Dust

in art •  8 years ago  (edited)

My husband suggested I paint some boobies, he said I could make at least $100.00. I had a good laugh and said, "why not?"


Rendered on mixed media paper with watercolor and gouache.


Details on the species regarding habitat and behavior will be added with finished painting.


I didn't know this, while researching, I found out the reason why the Blue Footed Boobies display their feet as they do their mating dance is because...blue feet are a sign of excellent health! If a bird isn't phsysically on top of his or her game their feet will be off colored. When mating it's important to be healthy because of the endurance needed to feed and guard the the young. The BFB are in trouble though, rats are invading their habitats and eating their young and their eggs. The birds don't know what to do, they just stand there and watch the feast.

Love it!

Thank you @opheliafu

You have really done nice work in capturing their personalities and actions. The coloration on the left one is really nice, too, with the orangish undertone. This is going to be a great piece!

I'm trying to loosen up on the detail and focus more on form and flow, ty @haphazard-hstead

you're welcome.

No problems finding a mate with those boobies, I bet. Your boobies are fantastic!

My boobies have never been tamed, they are wild and free!

:D Good one! Love the painting!

I love painting birds, they have a very simple anatomy. Thank you!

Great job my great friend @reddust, her husband had a great idea, actually two great ideas, those of the bird and the $ 100.
Excellent job congratulations

Thank you dear friend @jlufer, my husband has a lame sense of humor, he takes pride in his cliches ....hehehe

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you and yours my dear friend @jlufer.

My family had a lovely Christmas, grandchildren received games, art and engineering projects for gifts. During the holiday break from school they will be busy creating machines and art!

Nice boobies! I hope nobody will accuse you of false advertising.

They are all natural and wild boobies! No false advertising, they are the real deal.

You had me on "boobies", no need to throw in the "natural and wild" 8-).

They are also fickle, flirting with any footloose booby that is nearby ....lololol

Flirting boobies. Consider this I must.
