An update to this post... No I haven't gone bird brain, but in order to keep painting every day, (as I do right now) I need small studies to keep my brush in that paint and water. So I've come up with a series of birds and other small subjects. This Mute Swan (photo from Gary Jones ) was yesterdays and you've probably already seen the crow and the ostrich.
BJ doing birds thats what I like to see. The wet in wet crow looks great but the Ostrich is even above that. Very little paint, very large character.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I've seen that crow somewhere before! It's brilliant as is the ostrich - hope you're ok, take care!
ReplyDeleteAh BJ...I hope it is nothing to fret about (those things needing attention). I do worry about you so much. These are both awesome pieces; I love them both!!
