European Robin

A robin in winter.  I will admit that this guy doesn't display all the personality of some of my other birds, but he is cute anyway.  I was painting from a picture that had been taken in winter.  I can tell from the snow on the little stick the bird is on, but I couldn't make out what was in the background.  So I tried to fill it with cool colors.  I wanted to leave them a little light so as to not take away from the bird, but just give an indication of temperature.  Now that you know its cold in the picture, I bet you can really see it.

I made a video to go along with this so you can see how I did it.  Interested parties can follow this link.

I hope you enjoy this little bird and I hope you enjoy the video.   You keep looking and watching, and Ill keep painting and posting.
