Three Finches

 

Three Finches, 2020, Oil on Panel, 12"x12"

This board once had a Baltimore Oriole with the paint brush and the oriole facing down.  I was dissatisfied with the position and form of the oriole as well as the contrast against the blue.  Abandoning that idea I replaced it with the three American Goldfinches.  I played with having some yellow paint drip off the brush to indicate what the first finch is looking at.
