Blue Bird with Paint Brush, Work in Progress

 

Oil on Panel, 8"x10"

I'm working on a few small pieces while finishing up Oranges with Cobalt Vase.  This is one that I will submit to a show in which I have been invited to participate.  The Marion Art Center participates in the town's Arts in the Parks event with a booth.  I have been asked to submit about 15 small pieces.  

My "In House Critic" and I built a blue bird box this spring and hung it on a tree facing the marsh.  To date there are no inhabitants, not even pesky sparrows.  Last year we did spot two bluebirds feeding on the suet and were hoping that meant a possible couple would come and stay.
