Painting by Tory Brokenshire

This little bird is a Spotted Towhee he lives in my garden amongst the ferns and flowers scratching on the ground for bugs and seeds.

I took his photo and loved the look of him, I wanted to make him into a greeting card and I did but was not feeling like I was finished so I decided to paint him.

This image was created in photoshop 6. Its meant to look like a wood block of sorts.

Also created in photoshop, the simplicity is appealing to me.

I have gone into much more detail about this painting on my personal blog, coppercrowstudio.blogspot.com come on over and see how it evolved.
