Bird Brain

I have been thinking about birds.
Looking at artist's paintings of birds.
I thought, "I think I can do that..."
And so it begins...

My first bird.
I painted this one for myself.
It is a canvas cover for my kitchen table/island.

Turned out fine!
I sealed it with several layers of polyacrylic so I can just wipe it down to clean it.

Bird number 2.
Did not like it.

It is only paint, after all.
Repainted it.
Now I like it better.

Bird #3.
I had a background painted that was just waiting for something.
Turn out, it was waiting for this bird.

Painted a background for a bird and put down a basic bird shape.

Got started with bird #4...

Not sure if it is done or not.

Painted a background.

Painted another background.

Painted a little red bird.

And painted a leeetle red bird...
