I have just finished this artwork. It started with a piece of wood I found on one of my early morning walks. The bird shape struck me immediately. I made a background for the wood on a 7 x 5 inch canvas board (that had been painted and textured with flower shapes) by attaching layers of torn papers - maps, music, text, my own painted papers and a copy of a landscape photo I had taken on another walk plus gesso and litho coal powder.
An eye was added to the bird and 'feathers' accentuated with gesso and black acrylic. It was attached to the board which had been signed and varnished. The picture was finally mounted in a painted frame.
