That bird

[Bartc]

Today's effort after a long drought. Not from life nor from a reference photo, rather from memory, but painted in situ on the docks. I'm not really practiced at animals. 11.5x9.5" pastel on Dark Gray PastelMat. Redwood City, CA. B. Charlow 2022

This made me smile. Love the strokes and colors you put together. Fantastic!

Well done and nice place to sit down and paint. With practice we learn to paint birds! Just repeat it sometimes and you will master them.

Thanks for the encouragement, Moscatel, but I'm really not into painting animals. This just happened to be the subject at hand. Could have been a turtle or a leaf, just a prop in the abstract composition. It's not that I don't see their beauty; just that I'm not "drawn" to drawing them!
