Western Chickadee©2011 C.L.Burgess 4.5x8.5" oil on paper
A wildlife challenge for February presented by Gary Keimig, who not only paints but takes wonderful photos of our western terrain and wildlife. Thanks Gary! I love painting birds as much as watching them.

A lovely palette here, Cathyann. Gary's photo for this challenge was a beauty, as is your rendering.
i saw that cahllenge on Gary's blog and was tempted. now i am glad i didn't: you've done an excellent job with this Cathyann... i can feel the feathers and the smallness in my hands.
That is a beautiful little bird...you caught him JUST before he flew out of the painting!!!
