Singing Bird
November 18th, 2010
I drew a little bird in my sketchbook last night, so I decided to bring it to life today for Art Every Day Month, with collage, paint, and ink. It's about 6"x7" on paper. More birdfeeder inspiration I think. Although there are mothering images in the collage, that got entirely painted over, so I think it's a mother bird as well.

I worked on a little bird today and yesterday, too. No piccy yet, though.
This fellow is very charming.
