The Bumblebee Sisters

August 23, 2008 | Filed Under etsy, paintings | by Sarah Blank | 9 Comments

Not able to resist temptation, the sisters bought a bright red bird. Now it’s home and squawking like crazy, and must be fed three times a day or else. Oh, and it bites! Two very, very unhappy sisters indeed!

The Bumblebee Sisters Bought A Bird print is available in the shop.

Loosely based off a sweet old photo, one of my favorites. As I was painting I noticed the sisters in my reference seemed a bit disturbed. Hence, the bird.

Red feathers are pretty though.

The sisters are gorgeous! I love the colour scheme and their Marcel waves, but most of all deep, spooky eyes (especially the one in the green dress.) Lovely!
