Staring off into the distance

I know I keep saying that I am going to start painting again with more earnest.  But it seems that life keeps intruding on my art time, and I seem to be wasting all my time with silly work and family.

Well today, finally, I was determined to paint something.  This is a little nuthatch on a broken pine limb.  He seems to be staring intently at something off to the side.  I'm hoping that he's soon gonna have a little lunch.

Well, I don't have a big write up about this little guy, he's just a nice little bird.  One of what I am hoping is gonna be many to come,  Enjoy.
