This is an evolving series and I am still trying a few things out stylistically. The two most recent paintings, Bird in a tree 18 & 19 pushed the image too far away from a naturalistic style for me. Somewhere around Bird in a tree 15 - 17 is where I want to be, at least for now.
This painting, Bird in a tree 20 is the way forward, I think. Very pleased with Day 1 progress, so much better than the previous painting at this stage.
