This update has been a long time in coming. I finished this piece quite a while ago and it is already framed and on display at the Art Plus Gallery in W. Reading, Pa. I’m quite happy with the result, which came far easier than the last bird I had used as a subject. I have decided that for the time being, there will be no more scratch board works of birds for me, only oils – it’s far less aggravating. The woven nest was time consuming but caused me less grief than I had expected.
