I had painted this little cedar wax wing I found dead a couple of months ago...beautiful little bird. I couldn't finish the painting in the field so I brought the bird home and put it in the freezer. It's ironic because today we had an ice storm; I took the bird out and gave the painting another pass....not done yet but getting close.
This is where I had left off in the field...the ground I will paint from my notes and memory...
the bird I have in hand!
A bit further along.
I am going to stop here for now... not sure how I feel about that quaking aspen leaf at the top.... I will wipe it down and then decide tomorrow what I will do....hmmm
I like the way the tail of the bird worked out... such a beautiful little bird.
Kind of nice being inside today painting... I can remember the day I started this painting in the field like a vivid dream.
