Yellow-headed Blackbird

14.5x9.25 acrylics on matboard over pencil drawing finished today and featured on WetCanvas Weekend Drawing Event.  Host Mike Beckett posted photos for us the weekend before last in which we had 2 hours to make a selection and do a painting.  But this method of painting took longer as I am used to the quick washes of watercolor and its transparency.  I did enjoy studying the yellow-headed blackbird.
