This does not qualify as a ‘days painting’ even by my leisurely standards.
After a day of alternative pursuits my conscience was nagging me that I should at least start the next painting. Curiously enough, the idea for this painting was sparked by my ‘virtual gallery’ page. My current ‘5 panel painting, no.3’ suggested the third panel should be blue. And with little imagination I thought the bird should be a blue tit.
The painting is quite monochrome as it is still being drawn out. I like the image already and the blue background is dictating how I should make the rest of the painting.
I am updating this painting to the ‘virtual gallery’ at the end of each day to see if the other finished panels influence the way I paint this one.
Anyway, the next days painting must extend beyond a couple of hours.
