Striking Gold (finch)

5.5x7.5 watercolor on Lanaquarelle 140 lb hot press paper sketched and painted last night of an imaginary goldfinch over an abstract background.  Hot press paper being so smooth allows for a softer, less hard edged look for this lovely yellow and gray feathered bird.

Delightful Gold Finch - love the softness of the bird as well as the background. Very lovely.
