A bigger project

I have not been painting as much as I have wanted. I have been busy with end ofyear preschool stuff and sewing costumes for theatre. I warmed up with my quick painting of Pathway Puzzle. I am now ready for a larger and more in depth challenge. The same morning I took the puzzle painting reference shot, I saw a crow having a morning drink in the little man made creek in the park. Long morning shadows and sunshine. I had to take a picture and now I want to paint it on a long and skinny canvas, 48x24. I know crows have been done and done again but this crow needs to be painted. I want to work big scale and with detail. I will be posting my progress.

Cheers
