The Nestling Is Done

Studio light

Overcast daylight

I have decided to keep the bright colors, to keep my impression of the bird as a brilliant, beautiful work of Nature. I see and hear them every day when I go out to the barn, and their presence brings me joy.
Now on to the dreaded bridge ...

As always, your comments are most welcome.

  2. A beautiful job Kathryn. I like the lighting of the studio shot best. I see you staple down your paper instead of taping it. That's very interesting. What made you do that? (Watercolor is a mystery to me, especially when used by people who know what they are doing with it). --Poor little bird.

  9. I thought I had already commented, Kathryn, but I guess not. I wanted to say: this is a beautiful painting and I feel the same as Jane, it is emotional to me too.

  11. I really really like this one. I think you totally captured the delicate, melancholy feeling of it... It makes me sad though...

    The colors are just gorgeous and the drawing is beautiful too. You are really brave to tackle a subject like this...
