Birds and backgrounds

So, I have been playing with backgrounds and beginning on two new birds. It has been raining the whole day, and it has been nice and cozy in the studio. Happy day!

This will be another tree sparrow. I have so many nice reference photos of these small brown birds, I just have to paint them ;)

Long tailed tit. The continental version.

Painting and adding layers to canvases.

So far an abstract painting, I need to find the perfect bird for this one next...

Blue. Many layers of papers and blue acrylic.

Another background almost finished. This will probably be the background I will paint the latest thrush from my journal. Lets see!
