Measuring in at 60 x 60 with a 2.25 inch edge, the antique blue/green background shows all the layers and brushwork of the paint. Each bird sits a little differently — some perched, some in mid step, each turned a different way.

I start with a graphite drawing on the wood, then build the painting through about thirty layers — oils, washes, glazes, and metal leaf.
