Day 26- "30 Paintings in 30 Days"

"Getting the Cold Shoulder"  $145  watercolor, acrylic, and collage  (11" x 11" image)

I actually finished this painting this morning, between 4:30 a.m. and 6:30 a.m!  I babysat my grandsons all day yesterday, so I had to start my painting during nap time.  I knew I wanted to do Blue Jays, because they are one of my favorites.  Positioning them on the branch back to back, made me think that one of them was mad at the other, thus the title, "Getting the Cold Shoulder".  The outside border is composed of torn napkins, that I negative painted with acrylic to create my own design. I can't believe that there is only 4 days to go in this challenge.  I'm anxious about deciding which birds will be in those last 4 paintings.My favorite bird of all is probably the morning dove, so that will have to be one of them.  Keep tuned, and thank you so much for reading my blog, and making comments!
