Stellar Jay

This beautiful bird was good enough to just sit on the rock and pose for me as I approached ever so slowly with my camera. It seemed quite happy to let me get a close-up shot which translated into this 5x7 oil painting. It was painted mainly with the palette knife, but brushes were used to get into some of those small corners. It is available directly from the artist. Contact pwhitacre@att.net. Enjoy!
