New oil painting...

An Indigo Bunting on gessoed scrap book paper...

Not much personality... but I am getting better with my "painterly" effect... Maybe a bit of touch up later will help him out...

  5. This is incredibly gorgeous, Dianne. You may not think it has much personality, but take it from someone who can't so much as draw a twig, much less a bird. This piece has personality!

    BTW, I had planned to stop by earlier, but never made it. You can use anything BUT OILS when making paste papers. Gouache, tempera, acrylic, or pigment paints can all be used, but not oils. Guess I should have qualified that and I will on Monday. Thanks for asking.
