Framed print of Miniature Portraits 10 : “A Respectable Bird”

Sam is always trying to elevate the show to a level of good, clean entertainment… which almost always fails! Early in the Muppets Show, he would regularly introduce “Wayne and Wanda,” an insipid singing duo whose acts were always interrupted by stage malfunctions! 

In The Muppets office-style spoof in 2015, Sam continues to try to keep the cast in line by censoring “inappropriate” words from the script! 

I think my favourite is when Sam gets to play a serious (and sensitive) CIA agent in the 2014 movie “The Muppets Most Wanted.” He partners up to solve a crime with Interpol agent Jean Pierre Napoleon (played by Ty Burrell) for some hilarious American-French rivalry. 

But let’s face it though… without the rule breaking and “weirdos” as Sam calls them, the show wouldn’t be nearly as funny! 

This miniature portrait celebrates our responsible, Sam the Eagle… as he looks out on you, I hope you feel reminded of all the rules he would want you to keep to be a good, wholesome person. 

Art Process : This was originally a vintage print on wood of famous Italian art. The backing was coming off and hanging ribbon and ring was a bit yucky and needed replacing. I pried out the wood panel (which had been glued in), sanded and primed the surface. After drawing and painting studies, I painted the miniature on this wood surface. Once fully dried I coated it with several layers of matte varnish to protect the artwork. Then I carefully shaved down the edges of the  the art needed to be trimmed down to fit it back in the frame. Once glued back in, I added a new ribbon & ring so it can be displayed on the wall. And finally added a new patterned back to seal it all in.
