I don't really deserve this one. The bird was too solid and the sea was too placid. I put some stripes through the bird to break it up and blotted that central part thinking I would come back in but when I looked down there it is.
I was pretty happy with this when I finished it Friday morning, but when I looked at it Saturday my reaction was so what, and where did all that damn green come from?
So I took a wet brush and paper towels to it this morning and I think something is going on here, but it doesn't look done yet.
Oh yes, that first one is done. It's beautiful and has the feel of movement everywhere—the bird, the water, the sky. It's alive. The second one is definitely improved by adding the foam around the bird. You get the feeling he's taking off. You're on the right track here!
