Snap the Photo Already

There are so many names for this one, 6 x 6, collage/acrylic
Elizabeth W. Seaver
 
 My friend Lynette and her husband went to Kenya in September. She shared a fabulous photo with me. In it, there were two birds called Amboseli Superb Starlings. I flipped over it. They looked so dyspeptic or impatient or grumpy. 
 
I'm in love. 

I have painted each one of them on 6 x 6 collaged, cradled wooden panels, and I've painted them together on 11 x 14 linen with acrylic. I'll be sharing the other paintings in the next couple of days.

Help me name these guys: Take a Picture It'll Last Longer, Snap the Photo Already--can you think of any others to help me out?

Polly, you read my mind. That was my first thought about a title, but it's a family show. Thanks for your contribution, and for proving again that we'd be friends if we lived anywhere close to each other!

Hi, Saundra: There are so many things that could be running through her (yes, I've decided its a "her") mind. It could even be: "You kids sit down and behave, or no recess!"

So good to see you on my blog, and my goodness, you have lots going on on yours!
