Acrylic Painting: Blackbirds

This is a rather common sight around where I live. I admire the tenacity of our birds. We’ve had a rough winter, and these birds still hang on. In spite of incredible adversity they persevere. Resilience is a word that comes to mind. This is an acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas. The dimensions are 8″x10″ (20 cm x 26 cm), and the sides are almost 2″ (5cm) deep. Although I love working with paper, I’m trying to apply my same style and techniques to canvas, which is a particular challenge. This painting is for sale in my Etsy gallery. I’m entering this as my Illustration Friday submission.
