| I posted this bird in January, but I decided to carry it further and add the pine limbs. Comments are welcome. |

I didn't see the original painting but have a feeling that the addition of the pine bough enhances it. The painting is very dark on my monitor so I can't see much detail in the pines. Is it an Eastern Bluebird? I really like the composition and where the bird is placed in relationship to the pine cones, etc.

Well, I wasn't here in January, so I won't know how this has progressed.....but I LOVE the work on the pine tree. I like the difference in textures....the soft texture of the bird, and the stiff branches and needles of the tree. Nice work Ron!

Ron,
You have such great values in your greens, the grass with the racoon and now pine needles with the bluebird. Your composition, lost and found edges, stuff coming in and out of painting etc is consistent in your work. |

Yeah, what Heather said. Plus the detail work you put in
is fantastic. The pine cones are a nice touch.

Thanks, Heather, Jim, and one who sees for your comments.
I think the bird is an eastern bluebird. I looks like the one building a nest in my backyard. The bird was done from a photo. The pine branches were done from a tree in my yard. |

Myrn,
Thank you for the kind comments about my work.
Looking at your work in other mediums, I'm sure you will excel in CP if you really want to. And I hope you do! |

This is awesome. I really like the addition of the pine limbs. It just completes it somehow. This is a nice 'feel good' piece.
