The bird is finished, at long last. It could have been done days ago but for my obsession with the feathers. The more I worked with them, the more I wanted to. But it would have become a whole other drawing if I had kept going. The original idea for this series (on paper, mind you) was to develop imagery I might like to paint in oil on canvas. These are taking on a life of their own and have gone from quick and casual (the zebra) to this. Not necessarily a bad thing.
