A Blackbird and Some Half Eaten Fruit 50x40cm acrylic on cradled wooden board

The Blackbird came first because I’d been watching a pair of them taking turns to peck away at the pomegranate I’d left for them, I can spend hours just doing that, just watching! I wanted to capture a moment and this evolved with no planning, each bit slotted in and feels right. 
There are probably 8-9 layers, each sanded and scraped till the painting tells me to stop, the final layer was captured on a video that I have included here. On social media it plays to Louis Armstrong “Ziperdee doo dar” so you may like to sing that to yourself if you watch it! 
It’s finished with cold wax and is ready to hang out frame.
