New Painting

Sorry I haven't added anything new lately but I needed a rest after the big push to get the show ready.  I decided to abandon the other painting and start a new one. I saw this bird a while ago and have been wanting to paint it for a few weeks. I've made a good start. The leaves need more work and the sky needs to be evened out. The bird is almost done too.
 I'm still looking for a new job.
I've also decided to do a calendar for 2012. I used to do calendars every year and they were quite popular but then I got busy and didn't have  time. Now I think I'm ready to do another one.
