untitled Finch Painting

I haven't stopped working on the oil barn painting...  just felt like starting another watercolour bird painting.  It has been a while since I have worked on paper (been using aquabord for a while now), though I do think the sizing has 'gone' on this batch of paper.  Washes just aren't laying themselves down properly... I could toss it, or (since I put in lots of time drawing this guy out) persevere and think of it as a challenge.  I have decided to do the later... a challenge it will be!!
