Painting this bird in blue will give me an excellent opportunity to produce Christmas cards. Along with the similar red cardinal in snow scene that was previously painted, both will be available as cards in the near future.
On this last step of the painting, I completed the belly, wing and tail feathers as well as the branch and foot. I redefined more of the pine branches to darken the background a bit more. And voila, here is my "little prince in blue"!

You put me to shame Colette. Every year I vow to produce my own Christmas cards and I never quite achieve that goal LOL.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful painting and I wish you lots of success with the card sales of theBlue Jay and Red Cardinal

ReplyDeleteThank you kindly ladies! I am in the process of figuring out which print company to use...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blue jay Colette,did you ever paint the Steller jay?.
ReplyDeleteThank you Marc! No, I have yet to photograph a Steller jay but would love to someday. That is the disadvantage of working from one's own reference collection.
