Making a bird.

OK.
I know that is not a bird.
That is a deconstructed robot painting that I did not care for.

So I painted over it in blocks of color and then scraped away in a very artful manner, to reveal some of the pattern and colors of the original painting.

See - it is a fun technique!

I outlined my bird shape using my squirt bottle of black paint.

Painting in between the lines.

Like a coloring book....

Baaad Beak!   Must fix!

Beak fixed - but not sure about leaving that colorful "collar" on the bird...

Yeah.... better colored in.
Added a tail, too.

Time to color in the belly!

Made the belly bigger and squared off the edges a bit.

Belly belly good.

Stripes!  

Love it when I make the eye!   Now this bird is alive with personality!

This bird told me it is SASSY!
So that got it some SASSY arms!

Striped legs and a dotted belly and SASSY arms! 
What could be better?

Striped arms, that's what!
I have no preconceived ideas when I paint and when something like this happens, it is magic.

Pure wonderful fun magic!

Thanks for going on this magical mystery tour with me!
(and the bird!)
