| I found this tiny nestling on a sheet I had placed under the nest. For some reason, there is almost always one that falls or is pushed from the nest. I felt compelled to paint him, as a quiet eulogy to his brief life. |

| I went very bright to start, as I would be getting quite dark, and wanted the brightness to shine through. |
 |
| Slowly intensifying colors. I've decided to use all completely transparent colors. |

| I've started to get into the darks/shadows now. As always, your comments are most welcome. |
This is a great blog - I like the way you show your step by steps to the finished painting. I've become a follower and am adding your page to my blog list so that I can keep up with new posts, thanks for sharing, Sharon
ReplyDeleteInteresting to use such bright colors for a start, looking forward to see more!
ReplyDeleteWell you have picked a subject that I wouldn't think of. I am really squeamish when it comes to anything dead! That said, you are turning something sad in to something that had a purpose after all, however brief. I am looking forward to seeing it all finished :0)
