Out On A Limb 12" x 36" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas This contemporary oil painting is fun and colorful.  All five songbirds are perched out on a limb, doing their own thing.  The size of this canvas is unusual...12" x 36" landscape is pretty long and narrow, and would great in a den, office or hallway.  It has a punch of color and would be a great addition to any wall or bookcase.  Contact  Kay  for purchasing information.  Thanks for looking at the art posted here...Kay

Out On A Limb 12" x 36" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Bird Painting by  Kay Wyne Day #6 of the  30 Paintings/30 Days with Leslie Saeta Hot off my easel....below you can see the progression as I placed the birds and limbs with a rough painting.  I wanted to placement to allow the viewer's eye to roam around and go from bird to bird.   Once I get the general placement of the subject matter on the canvas, I block in colors.  Using large brushes, I can cover lots of space quickly. More color, not alot of details yet.  Layers and layers of oils go on.... More paint and more paint.  I wanted a colorful and painterly piece...more paint. And More color...setting the eyes in the birds were some of the last touches.  More layers especially in the nest, but trying to stay loose with my strokes. Thanks for looking at the art posted here....more paintin...

As you can see I became a little carried away and went over to the wild side! It was a fun ride while it lasted. This is a close up of Shorty ... a colorful little bird! This is Slim...that bird is up to something! I can see it in his eye! Maybe he wonders why his pal Shorty is standing so close to his gal Lulu? And this is Slim and Lulu...as you can see birds of a feather flock together and Slim has nothing to worry about! I can see that Lulu only has eyes for Slim. I ho...
