** From my PAINTING A DAY for 30 days annual ORIGINAL art promotion ** Painting Day 13 - Nov. 22, 2009: This sweet little bird has just arrived in the winter underbrush and is preparing to hop off again to his next destination. A gestural, whimsical look at the daily life of a backyard garden in winter, this painting started with a heavy undercoat of blues and greens before having a layer of india ink lines drawn and wiped across the top. I finished with a turquoise sky. The canvas is 1 1/2 inch thick and is painted on all sides to hang with or without a frame. I hope you enjoy this little wintery, birdy pause! Painted with artist quality materials - Daniel Smith Acrylic Paints on 100% Cotton Canvas - Fine Art quality that lasts! The painting is signed JENLO on the front and signed and dated on the back. I hope you enjoy!
