flock of inspiration :: artist frank gonzales

As many of you know birds are a strong theme in my life. Needless to say I am quite smitten with the works of Frank Gonzales. His bird paintings have pretty much stolen my heart. I love the patterns and composition on each piece almost as if each bird was vibrating color.
