Day 11 of the "30 in 30" painting challenge

Up and at it early this morning. I don't think I have gotten up at 5 AM to paint in 30 yrs., but it felt good. I enjoyed hearing the birds singing while painting this little guy.
So, you say, why the early start? My 5 yr. old best friend is visiting this weekend, and from experience, I've learned that a 5 yr. old and oil paint don't mix!!!!
It's now 8 am, and I'm headed back to bed for a morning nap, before the little tornado wakes.
Thanks for stopping in.

    I have one (actually three) of those tornadoes. I bet they DON'T mix with oil well. Mine live far away. Love this little bird - your background color is so nice and your edges are so soft.

      Thank you Patti, I have a few that live away from us as well, but it also makes the visits super special.
