Last of the Year

December is a slow month for almost anything not related to the holidays.  We even take the month off from Art League meetings.  However, I did really want to get this painting finished before the end of the year.  Made it - yeah!
"Tanager"

I was working with the concept of depth and varying light conditions.  And believe it or not, it was inspired from a dream I had.  This is the "Western Tanager" - not the "Scarlet Tanager".
Oh, and I didn't manage to get accepted into the two shows I entered a couple of months ago.  Frustration abounds...
