Common Goldeneye- Oil painting 8"x 10"

Finished this painting today, very satisfying after so
many years in a couple ways. One, such a painting
fifteen years ago would have required about 50-100
hours time, and this painted in just over four hours.
Secondly...I kept this in a painterly mode...tightening
what was necessary only...

Hope you enjoy...and clicking on image will reveal a

I'll be adding a YouTube video of this work start to
finish sometime this week. Hope you'll check back.
