Whimsical dotty bird

I'm having a very busy week doing our financial year end filing, accounts and tax so not much time to create and I can't concentrate on anything much till it's done
















On Monday I managed a little whimsical collage drawing which I painted with twinkling shimmery metallic paints in burnt umber.
I used some of the dotty guinea fowl feathers for the tail and some text

"it was past five in the morning, and the birds were already singing away"















































I mounted it on a square white canvas, then painted it with wax. I also dipped the black ivy seedhead in wax. I finished the edges in burnt umber with copper metallic dust
