30 Paintings in 30 Days - Day 5

"Fiddling Finches" LWatry©2014

Day 5 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days found me painting "Fiddling Finches". These finches seem to have found the perfect perch and who knows maybe they will be able to play a tune along with their singing!

I enjoyed painting the fiddle and getting the surface to look like wood. I completed the fiddle and background music first. Then I started working on the birds. I chose to use the male finches with the tow birds facing the viewer so that their red chests would add some color to the scene.

"Fiddling Finches" is a 6"x6" watercolor and is available for purchase through Daily Paintworks - $90 SOLD
