Mr. Moxie

A 9x12" painting of one of our budgies. It was a real struggle to finish, and I almost abandoned it completely today. Instead, I managed to finish it. I realized that I was trying to make Moxie look too much like the photograph instead of how I saw him. Once I realized that, my brush was flying! Moxie is almost all white, so any shadows are really subtle and he doesn't have any typical budgie patterns.

He looks just like my Grandsons Willis. Great work Christine.

Artist Reply: LOL, there are quite a lot of Moxie clones out there. Hehe! Willis is just the coolest name for a budgie!

Wonderful painting Christine!

Artist Reply: Thanks Lucia :-) I should probably paint more, but it's so hard to get the space sometimes to leave everything lying around.
