Red Hot 8 x 8 Pastel

This bright little bird captured my full attention and I felt drawn to paint him.  His magnificent red feathers were a deligtful challenge as they required many layers of hard and soft pastels to achieve his bold markings and brilliant coloring.  It was one of those paintings that I didn't want to end because the process was so
 enjoyable.
