The Pearl Street Project

update 3-2-10

So, I am almost done with this painting. I plan to be finished with the sittings by this coming Friday.  Chink is being a good sport.  We sat a listened to an interview with Michael Perry on NPR today and he ordered us a pizza.  I am trying to paint some gold finches outside the window at the feeders.  They were visiting us like crazy two weeks ago but of course, now that I need them, they are pretty sparse.  But they are slowly turning more golden as the weather warms which is refreshing.  I want to get the feeling of movement and elusiveness from them in the painting to play off of the steadiness of Chink.  He is a constant guy.
