I saw this image without the flamingos on the news. It flashed for a moment on TV and I jotted down the sketch before I forgot it back in 2007. So I painted it and I didn't like the finished painting so I put it away in storage. I brought it out of storage a few weeks ago and I had some torn newspaper on it that made it look more interesting, but I still didn't like it. I've been messing around with pink flamingos lately and collage and I threw my cut-out flamingos on the table and they happened to land on this painting, which is on paper, and magic happened- it was a match. It worked and I finally found a solution to this painting
