Day 5- 30 Paintings in 30 Days

"Opening Act" 
11" x 11" image, mixed media, available for $125.  Some paintings just go smoothly.  Today was one of those days.  Hey, I deserve it, after yesterday's trials!  I knew that I wanted to collage the feathers again, and decided to have the crow sticking his head into a busy section, that would repeat the patterns on his wings.  After collaging on the right, I negative painted, using acrylic so that I could make up my own pattern.  This was fun to paint from start to finish!  I named it "Opening Act" because it looks like the crow is getting ready to go on stage.

    1. Thanks, Nans! I plan to do one more like this one today. It was actually very easy, and I need to do more simple ones. Running out of steam with this challenge, and I'm not even half way through!
