Bluejay at the Feeder

12x9 mixed media on Canson 140 lb cold press paper completed a few days ago, ref courtesy WetCanvas.com where the bird was featured in a timed 2 hour event.  A popular event every weekend an artist host will provide images for whoever wants to participate and they have a 2 hour time limit to select one and paint it.  I used a backing sheet of various marks in acrylic, ink, and watercolor, then sketched the bluejay.  Watercolor and Montana acrylic markers in yellows and blues were applied to the background for a unique abstract look.
