Juncos



Juncos, 9"x10", Acrylic on W/C Paper, $100

In the winter, flocks of juncos visit our bird feeders and sit in our trees and shrubs.  This painting was an effort to capture them using acrylic and a palette knife.  I put in the central rectangle of color to give them some context, albeit an abstract one.  The tails of a couple of the birds extend outward into a white border, making the whole image a bit less formal.

Artist's Note:  The central rectangle is approximately 4.5"x7".  A white border around the whole piece increases the size of the image to 9" x 10".
