the next step of the painting

yes, between class and friends and a boy and things of this nature, i do have time to paint.

barely.

next step, add a little more texture and color back into the background and then finally a flock of 17 birds silhouetted. sahra's image i posted to the sun/sky series (name yet to be officially settled) a few days back will be the starting point for how the birds will be in relationship to the viewer. i liked that the viewer feels like they are in the flock. moving with/responding to the movements.
