As mentioned in my last post, I have been taking art lessons from
Susan Christiansen at our local Michael's store. I have been doing a painting of my (deceased) Alexandrine parrot, Gonzo the Great. The first step was to transfer the outline of a blow-up photo to my canvas. Step 2 was a tonal (shades in neutral) painting, which I published in my last post and also here. Step 3 was to start adding color. These photos will show you my progress, as I near completion.

Thanks for stopping by. I will post the finished painting as soon as I can get a good photo of it.
Blessing hugs,
