Thinking Spring

Acrylic on canvas

5"x7"

This is a painting from an art challenge group that I'm a part of.  With all the cold, snowy weather here lately, I decided to place the bird on a budding tree instead of the background in the original reference photo.  I think this is the first time that I've painted a bird, but overall I'm pleased with how it came out.  After a little bit of research, we figured out that this may be a European Tree Sparrow.
