Fifth card from The Wilson shop with comments on colour wheel and design

 

Again this card does not state on the back who the illustrator was but advice can be sought from the shop at The Wilson museum.

The comments posted for the previous similar card stand for this.  When I studied it in more detail I realised that there were stars and that they told us that this was nigh time and a cloudy sky by a blue crescent distorted shape or that could be the moon. Abstract shapes are not always precise. The previous pigeon card did not have abstract shapes but the pink symbols in the sky in this one make the sky look a bit abstract. As the stars give us a clue to the story in card above, the large clock tower in the previous pigeon card indicated the back story that it represented Big Ben.  This artist is able to convey something of context in what is drawn.

I really like this card too.  It is my second favourite.  The main differences are the other pigeon looked majestic, was looking away and on a wooden or metal T structure displaying agility to walk along that.  This pigeon has a great pose too and looks cute and interested in the viewer. It is perched on the edge of a wall.  Both pigeons have a hint of safety as away from man and up high where birds want to be but also a hint of fragility as balanced on manmade structures rather than enveloped by trees.  It is just personal choice as to which of two similar cards I chose.  I think the first card also has all the lovely detail of a background scene.  This card has the glory of a night sky.  I just thought the pink outlines in the sky could be interpreted as fireworks or dawn breaking ie something else coming in.

Could be sent to either sex.  Salmon pink feminises it a bit.

One word summary - Cute

Successful design - Yes, pleasing on the eye.  Use of unusual colour makes it memorable and lifts an everyday scene. No use of primary colours.  Design seems subtle and classy rather than striking as does the other pigeon card.
