Brass Bird on a Pot

Brass Bird on a Pot

6x6, soft pastel

This little guy travelled with me to the local greenhouse for a bit of “Plein air” painting during January.  I placed him on an upside down flower pot in between a few other pots of bright pink flowers where he rested quietly until I was finished. Plein air isn’t necessarily my bag...but it was great fun and good practice painting outside the studio.

This little brass bird sits on the mantel in my studio. Since I’ve never painted brass before I thought it would be a great little subject...I love this little bird and of course, I like the play on words.
