to get into the mood of the landscape and nature. i then think of the old days, when i used to ride my bike to school, i would see the birds everywhere and hear them whistling happily. hence my fascination for birds.
this little bird is a bank squeaker painted in a bit of fantasy colours but also sort of matching the light and dark you see in the bird. the little bird is resting on a branch after a good catch.
i painted this artwork with acrylic paint.
it was made with loose brushstrokes.
i also worked the feeling of a sunny day into the painting.
