Painting the Blue Bird, A Work in Progress

Painting the Blue Bird, Oil on Panel, 10"x10"
I am at last back in the studio after spending the last six weeks in Italy.  The expected trip was to be until April 6.  However, we were caught in the Italian Covid-19 outbreak and needed to leave early. 

As I've been pondering props to add interest to the bird paintings, I came upon the idea of having them perch on a paint brush dipped in the main color of the bird.  I think of it as saying, "Hey.  This is a painting."  As I finished today, thought, I was wishing the bird's head was turned toward the viewer.
