Painting: House Finch

[Gus Hallgren]

Hi Folks:
Prettied up this little female House Finch with my Bird Deluxe painted guide that I like.
Hope you like it too.
Comments always welcome and very much appreciated.

BTW: Instead of salvaging a so so photo, this method requires a good capture as a base

Hey Gus..........You definitely have a cool thing going with the painterly effect. In this one, tree in the BG is a bit distracting to me, pulling my eye away from the beautiful finch. I might try blending the light blue to the dark blue color and see if that helps...............just my preference, others may have a different take.:D

Gus, The colors and the painting work are lovely. I agree w/ Jay regarding the BG. I love your stroke border and your finch appears to be smiling!

Subtle charge, remove brightness

Nice repost Gus. I like the effect and your painting is very stylish.
