Greenjay Gaze

5x3.5 watercolor and ink on magazine insert card paper done today from one of my greenjay images.  This fellow is gazing at something we cannot see or maybe just because it is Spring! Pigma Micron 01 pen used to draw the bird and branch then background is multiple dropping in of various pinks, mixed purples, and greens.  Splattering with opaque pink done when dry (Taylor's Flamingo Pink by Cheap Joe's American Journey).
