Hummingbird

 

I do a bird almost every month for "Draw a Bird" Day, which is internationally recognized on the 8th of every month.  This is my October bird.  I was trying to follow directions in BevJozwiak's new book Confident Brushstrokes.  I kind of lost my way, but learned a lot and will keep trying.  I like painting a little looser and the strong colors.   

My friend Marian Wiseman puts birds she gets into a monthly blog for the Draw a Bird day.  Below is a link if you want to see some other birds....and she does other posts about art as part of our Wednesday Studio group.
