Worked more on the background and the bird, this paper is from thew same sheet as the Monarch so I am having to be more careful with this one as well, I am thinking that maybe this sheet did not receive any external sizing, oh well we will see.. I will finish the backgrounds on these 2 next to make sure I am not wasting my time with the details.
Krista, your progress is great. as you might know, i just love birds. Red is so difficult for me.. looks like you've got a handle on it. Can't wait to see the finished work! ~~carolynn
He is looking so good (cardinals are one of my favorites). Great background too.
Thank you Carolynn and Vicki, it is amazing how many people have said that cardinals are their favorite birds
Krista, both this and the butterfly are looking great so far. Will look forward to seeing them finished.
