Raw day today. For the first time in NINE months I don't have an 'agenda', or something specific to paint for. I don't know what I'll do with this, it's 12x12, I just love sparrows. I have a photograph of lots of sparrows on a bare tree, and I like to pick certain ones to paint. This painting was a lot about layers of color applied, then scraped away, as well as a note of forlorn, like a November day, although it's not quite that month!

This piece has such a peaceful feeling. The softness of the palette and the way you handle the paint really has a soothing quality.
I really like this painting.
Kelly, I really like this painting and would like to see it in person. Am curious about the textures of scratching and layering. I like the positioning of birds looking in different directions. Good composition.
PS. difficult to read some of these comments
Yeah, I got *spammed*, how about that? I deleted them, but don't really want to go to the extra security of the word verification!
Ohh, this is so soft and sensitive. Like it very much. Well done Kelley.
So love this pieces and the couple of others previously, very touching.
