Bright as Gold

A friend snapped this photo as I was beginning work on a new piece while we were hanging out at the Guild.

She was understandably curious why I kept putting on and taking off color.

She felt better when I finally settled down to start drawing, several photos of the goldfinch as my reference.

At home I really got a bit more adventuresome with the colors.

I think he looks like he might fly off into the woods, but I've never seen a goldfinch on this property.
Here he is in his 9 x 6 glory....ready to fly into someone's home.
Meanwhile I think I will enjoy him, we've gotten to know each other so well!

    Hi Cindy. The putting on and taking off of color at the start of this painting made for a richly textured foundation that is lovely! Beautiful piece. Thank you for stopping at my blog, too.
