I'm afraid I'm a little behind with my daily paintings now, since I spent two whole days working on this larger piece.  I think I need at least a few larger pieces for this upcoming show, so it was worth it. 

There is another reception at the Red Door Gallery tomorrow from 4:00-6:00, please stop by if you're in town! And ask me questions! I need practice in answering them :)

For now here's a painting that is bird-less, and not evil  :)
