Song Sparrow: a bird painting in pastel

I have yet to give this painting a title...other than the obvious "bird on a wire", which is too overused for my liking, I'll have to give it some good brainstorming!

Nonetheless, I share with you the final update on the bird painting. I am glad now that I accidently made the wire too large and had to increase the size of the bird. It was much easier to add the detail on the larger format.

    Good job. Sparrows are probably my favorite subject to paint.

    It worked out very well with the resizing. Beautiful work.

    I'm with you on titles .... mine tend to be predictable

    I'm glad you didn't change the wire as well...This is finished so beautifully, Colette ..Using the suede paper made it look so realistic. Wonderful work!!!

    John, Sue and Hilda, thank you so much! I'll be doing more birds soon, at least one more before I change animal subject!
