There has been a couple of seasons of the year when I see a converge of a variety of birds. This piece was done after such a period a few years ago when I captured in a photograph about 8 species of birds in large tree in my back yard. If was late in the summer and many of the leaves had already started to fall. As I painted I decided to element the leaves to highlight the diverse gathering of birds.
I use wood panels (sometimes canvas). First layer is built with plaster or modeling paste. Acrylic washes are dabbed or poured on the wet plaster/paste. When the surface is dried I manipulate it by sanding and scratching. More layers are added by repeating this process. Oil paint is used for final layer defining shapes referencing birds and nature.
