Blue Jay 2  14 x 16  oils on canvas panel


I'm MUCH happier with this Blue Jay! It's funny how paintings happen for me.  I struggled with the first one and this one just "happened".  I suppose that if I knew what I was doing I'd be selling paintings more often!  :-)


I made the background by rubbing paints of various colors with a cloth saturated with paint thinner onto the support. I let it dry for a couple of days then I painted the trees and the bird.

9/16/2011 - I painted over this "painting". I couldn't stand looking at it any more! :-)


I've been making paintings of birds lately. I don't know why, exactly. 


This Blue Jay is supposed to be in a piney woods but . . .   I need to practice painting pine needles! DUH
