Description
I took a photo several years ago of this male finch about to fly off the bird seeds that spilled on the ground. His wings attracted my attention because they fanned so gorgeously. I found this photo by accident as Ia m cleaning up my computer and decided to paint it. This is hand painting from scratch as you can imagine since the finch has no connection to my backyard and I changed a lot about how he looked as well. The bird is heavily textured and the background is flat, painted with palette knife.
