Peekaboo

oil on panel, 12" x 12"

This painting of a Galah cockatoo was started a few weeks ago, and then I was pulled away from my easel for a work project.  By the time I returned to it, I was in quite a different frame of mind from when I started.  For me, it is of prime importance to have a sense of continuity when painting, which is why I tend to prefer working alla prima (i.e., finishing a painting in one session).  I don't have that luxury right now, so I have to work with things as they are.  Still, I quite like this little guy.  It's not his fault he got neglected in the process.
