January finches

It's January, when the only thing of any use I can do, on a good day, is paint pictures of house finches.





I knew that trying to render the second pose realistically would probably mean sodding up the angles, so I thought-- this has to be in a much looser style, more gestural.

I overworked it a little bit, but I enjoy the result and would like to do more in that style.

Signal boost:

Signal boost for sovay about what sartorias elegantly called the last care of her cat:

Because we live in the world we live in, caring for Autolycus at the end of his life left us with major medical bills, but also because we live in the world we live in, genarti has organized a GoFundMe to help us cover the costs. Please contribute if you can. He was worth every cent. He was himself to the end.

For the excellence of Autolycus, please see many prior posts by sovay .
