Stingray is Complete! Now Looking for a Name

Our vibrant stingray painting is finally finished! The background now pops with coral, flowing seaweed, yellow highlights, and a couple of underwater flowers, giving it depth, movement, and personality.

But there’s one thing missing… a name! This playful, rule-breaking stingray refuses to remain Stingray No. 1.

You can submit your name suggestion online or drop by the Midwest City Library and leave your idea in the box. The winning name will be announced the first week of October on this blog.

Don’t miss the chance to see it in person at The Village Arts Festival on October 11th. Come for the art, stay for the fun, and help give our stingray a name as lively and bold as it is!

Thanks for reading The 3rd Flamingo—a blog for art lovers, creative wanderers, and anyone who’s ever made a beautiful mess.

Come along as I figure out what hangs, what rotates, and what surprises unfold.

Stacked Serenity: How a Painting Survived the Village Arts Festival

At this year’s Village Arts Festival, my painting Stacked Serenity took an unexpected tumble when a gust of wind knocked over a display wall, tearing two gashes in the canvas. What followed was a careful repair process, a lesson in patience, and a reminder that art, like artists, can be resilient and evolve after a setback.
