American Goldfinch, et al

A great thing about any break is having the mental space to paint again.

I have begun a bunch of projects, but this one was time-limited. It is a little American Goldfinch for my uncle, who is in a care home for the first time this Christmas. The goldfinch appears in company with a half-finished Black-Capped Chickadee who is waiting for me to go and buy more black paint.

I don't think I've ever seen a goldfinch in this territory, but we get a great many chickadees.
