Hi there! I’m Jennifer Jones—artist, creative spirit, and the flamingo-loving force behind The 3rd Flamingo, based in the vibrant heart of Oklahoma City.
Blending color, whimsy, and a healthy dose of curiosity, my work celebrates the wild, the weird, and the wonderfully unexpected.

The playful logo of The 3rd Flamingo holds a special place in my heart, representing each of my siblings. Notably, the third flamingo, which stands upside down to form the 'J' of Jones, symbolizes my unique perspective and creative spirit.

Welcome to the Wonderfully Unexpected

This isn’t your typical gallery—and that’s exactly the point. Step into a world where insects have secret lives, flamingos play checkers, gargoyles catch feelings, and animals choose their own portrait colors. From sassy sea creatures to loud-mouthed landscapes, every collection brings a splash of humor, a dash of whimsy, and a whole lot of personality. It’s art that doesn’t take itself too seriously… but still looks fabulous on your wall.

Celebrate In Color

Celebrate the season—any season—with bold, joyful color!
This collection bursts with whimsical energy, creative chaos, and a  whole lot of festive flair. Each painting is a colorful ode to  celebration, where imagination leads the party and rules take the day  off.

Because around here, the holidays come with extra sparkle—and every color in the box.

Sun, Sand & Shenanigans

Crabs  play volleyball, ants catch waves, and alligators soak up the sun like  they own the beach. This playful collection turns the shoreline into a  colorful, creature-filled celebration of summer fun—where every day’s a  little wild and wonderfully weird.

Under the Sea (and a Little Off the Hook)

Dive  into a splashy world where fish have flair, crabs have opinions, and  sea life is anything but ordinary. This vivid collection brings the  ocean to life with bold colors, playful vibes, and just enough attitude  to make you question what your goldfish is really thinking.

Born to Be Painted

These  animals didn’t just sit still—they showed off. Bursting with  personality and painted in colors they clearly chose themselves, each  portrait celebrates the charm, quirks, and quiet confidence of our wild  (and not-so-wild) companions. It’s portraiture with a playful  twist—because why should humans have all the fun?

Bugged Out: The Secret Lives of Insects

Welcome  to the gallery! Here, bugs take center stage—dancing, playing, and  living their best six-legged lives while we humans aren’t looking.  Explore the secret side of insects through a playful collection that’s  equal parts art and imagination.

Whimsy & Wonder

Where  bold color meets big imagination. From lively landscapes to characters  with charm, this collection celebrates the joy of seeing the world a  little differently—brighter, bolder, and full of fun.

Loud Blooms and Bold Views

Forget  subtle. These flowers shout in color and the landscapes don’t hold  back. This collection turns nature on high volume—bursting with vibrant  petals, exaggerated skies, and just enough whimsy to make you wonder if  the hills really are alive. It’s the great outdoors, but louder,  brighter, and way more fun.

Fabulous & Flighty

These  flamingos aren’t just standing around—they’re working the sand, serving  looks, and casually playing checkers like it’s a high-stakes sport.  Full of charm, sass, and just enough chaos, this collection captures the  pink-feathered drama of birds who know exactly how fabulous they are.

From Stone Cold to Almost Human

Grotesques:  weird, wonderful, and just a little too relatable. This cheeky  collection explores what happens when these stone oddballs start picking  up human habits—mood swings, side-eyes, existential dread. Turns out,  the line between “ornamental monster” and “average person” is thinner  than we thought.

Featured Artworks & Stories

Welcome to a curated showcase of my favorite creations, each with its own unique story and inspiration.

Looking for a peek inside the artist brain? (Yes, it’s a little messy in there.)

Welcome to my blog—a space where sparks turn into sketches, odd thoughts morph into bold paintings, and everyday moments sneak in as unexpected muses. This is where the creative process lives in all its unfiltered glory. From half-formed ideas scribbled in notebooks to dreams that linger until they demand a canvas, it’s a collection of everything that fuels the work you see hanging on the walls.

Step into the world behind the canvas.


This is where ideas are born—in a sketchbook, a daydream, a walk outside, or a fleeting moment that just feels like it needs to become a painting. Browse through candid photos that capture the spark of inspiration, the evolution of subject ideas, and the messy, magical in-between stages of works in progress.
