Another of my favorite Hitchcock moments is his introductions for his "Hitchcock Presents" series. Quiet little jokes about the character or plot, and little quips about the sponsors at the end, I just love it! So I wanted to include Hitchcock himself in my painting, watching the scene unfolding with some popcorn in his hand for a little snack. (He'll be there a while, those darn birds don't go away anytime soon!)

I love that they planned the show for Friday the 13th, perfect timing for a suspenseful show!

PS. I promised a painting tutorial blog post last week, but still working away on it! I haven't forgotten!

what a great piece, i love the dark setting, so beautiful, Nicole! there seems to be so many shows with themes. I'm a big Hitch fan :)
Thanks Daria! Yeah I love the themes that Gallery1988 comes up with. I feel like it really helps me think outside my norm.
A really beautiful piece. I have been watching the rest of works on the web of the Gallery and yours is one of my favourites (once again).
Thank you Malapata, there were a bunch of different artists that I hadn't seen before and loved the new work.
