I love painting birds! Well actually i love painting just about any animal :XD:
I saw this beautiful photograph of a tree swallow in the stock art section of da (i find myself there when i need inspiration) and i needed to paint it.

This is a 6x8 inch acrylic painting. Funny thing is its on watercolor paper because i thought i was going to paint this bird in watercolors then changed my mind.

I did this painting while taking breaks during my many hours of homework.
