54x24" update

Everything about painting big is so different from what I'm used to... and I guess because that was not "enough" of a challenge, I decided to paint birds with oil paints, which I did only once before. I am still debating whether to add words, like I'm used to or will it not look right on this scale. Also - I have no idea how to photograph them well. I hope the weather will be nice over the weekend so that my husband can help me with that. Until then - this is the only photo I managed to take.
I'm off bravely to a next big canvas! Pushing through the uncomfortable feeling of "I don't know how to do this". Let's see what happens...
Happy weekend!

    It was very inspiring to look at the montage of last years month by month art work. I love the pink birdie below. I love birds(I'm feeding birds this winter and the little piggies have eaten over 50 pounds of sunflower seeds, so far :) I'll be back to get a better look at your "painting big" canvases...they look great!
