I saw the Explore Your Garden painting challenge in DPW and remembered the perfect reference. I took many photos when my family and I went to Nevada City, Montana. Nevada City was an old mining ghost town that has been turned into an outdoor historical museum. As we explored the attraction, finches fluttered about. One of the cute little guys landed on a wooden garden fence and I could not help but take his picture with the intent of painting him

I painted him in oil on a 5 x 7 canvas board. He is up for auction on Daily Paintworks. Click Here to Bid
