Chickadee at the Feeder redone

11.5x7.5 mixed media on paper, a redone or reworked piece that had a too busy background. Here I have added white latex paint to the background of the chickadee bird painting, using a brayer and more water to move the paint over most of it. Focus should be on the bird and not on all the extraneous. This was done last week of January and includes collaged items. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2026
