6 x 6 oil on gessobord
This Cardinal flew in the other day and landed on my curly willow. I had to hustle to get my camera ready before he flew away. Birds don't stay long in my teeny new tree. After completing the painting, I was trying to photograph it and dropped it in a plastic garbage can and totally scraped off the front of his body. Paint literally scrapes off these gessobords very easily, leaving you with a big smear. Note:
Backgrounds give me fits. I have changed this one 3 times and still can't get the effect that I want. I love Elizabeth Blaylock's bird paintings. She has such lively, colorful backgrounds.

He's perfect Wanda! We have 1 pair around here and are hoping they'll stay. Backgrounds are a pain, aren't they? I like your mix of colors behind him.
