So, here's my latest bird - a male version of the female I posted before Christmas.
I think he's very pretty, but what I really love about this one is the background. I am super, super happy with it. :)
And here's a close up of all my little cut up bits, post accent painting.
Working on something different next week - come see!
Joining in the fun at Off The Wall Fridays! and Show and Tell Saturday at Artists in Blogland.
I love watching this bird series progress - my husband has a fascination with birds and it ends up in his work all the time - this is one of my favs!
