Here is a little bird I started a week ago. It needs another layer at least on the bird and part of the fence the bird is standing on, but I love the look of the background. I think I’ll probably just leave it as is. Painting has been a bit difficult to do lately since I’m packing up my whole house for a big move next week. So I apologize in advance if posting becomes a bit more erratic.
I’ve never been any good at identifying birds, but this red and black beauty was sitting on the fence outside my window a few years ago so I took his picture. It was a cold and snowy day in Alaska and this colorful bird was the most colorful thing outside that day.
