Oriole in Dogwood

These bright little orange and black feather rockets have been visiting me this spring, and I have seen more of them than ever before! They are Baltimore Orioles, and the splashes of orange against the budding woods have been very inspirational to me. I have learned about a new technique and was eager to try it, but was having trouble affording the supplies... so, a very special thanks goes out to my Patreon supporters ( www.patreon.com/nambroth ) as they helped fund my materials for this and some future paintings! I appreciate it and am donating this painting to the local Arts Council so that they can raffle it for operating funds.

I have a lot to learn and practice on with this technique, this is my first attempt.
