Close ups
This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Maureen did a great job of hosting this week and provided a bunch of terrific photos! She always does.
I came across this quote by John Singer Sargent: "No small dabs of colour - you want plenty of paint to paint with."
I have been guilty of being stingy with paint...so this time my mounds of color were a little more generous. But most of the areas around the bird were done with thin paint for contrast.
C&C welcome. Thanks for looking and commenting!

A beautiful and colorful rooster, Dean! Wonderful work as always!!!
ReplyDeleteNo surprise this guy is strutting his stuff. He's a handsome one alright!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous...I like the extra paint!
ReplyDeleteYou are wonderful with color and movement. Nothing is ever stiff - beautiful fluid strokes and color vibrations make for an exciting surface. Always a pleasure to visit, Dean, and see the variety of subject matter - done so well.
