I  used  dark blue and purple transparents for the underpainting of this bird. I really like how the other colours pop against them.

I have started painting some of my birds a little smaller,way more background to think about.  I decided to go a little purple crazy which I just love against this little bird.

I used a more subtle palette than usual so I decided to use a red underpainting.  I like the end result soft with a little bit of a bite.

A very pleasant day to paint another bird, the background kind of reminds me of confetti...maybe it's the colours.

I am starting to play around more and more with the backgrounds, this little bird was sitting on a wire and I decided that some beautiful blossoms would just add a little pretty. Every once in a while I step back and really take a look at my paintings that are drying on the shelf, it really is amazing that something so small can make such an impact in a room.

This is another overpainting of an painting I did last year, there is definitely more interest when you see bits of the old painting peaking through.

I was away for a week and really missed painting...I just had to paint a bird when I got home, I used just primary colours and kept it simple.
