5.25 x 6 inches
watercolor and gouche
Time: just under 2 hours.
Part of the "Submission a Day" project for February.


When I saw this young junco in our backyard, he was all fluffed up and still, as if to conserve energy.

I wonder if his fellow birds are able to convey to him that winter doesn't last forever, and that we'll have spring in two or three more months..


Note: I don't usually use gouche, but thought I'd give it a try on the bird, and to add a few snowflakes where the masking was uneven.

It really is!

You almost forget how strong the white of the paper can be until you choose not to paint it.
