"Young Gold Finch Study" by Astrid Paustian

Oil on board, detail of a large commissioned painting in progress.
I have been busy with many projects, a large commission of a bird and sunflower painting, among others.
This detail shows one of the juvenile Gold Finches, the colors in his plumage not quite developed enough to tell if it is a male or female.

This morning my plein air group painted at a home with a magnificent garden.  Every square inch of the yard has been turned into growing space for herbs, vegetables and flowers.  It was magnificent!  And, the freshly baked rhubarb pie was delicious!  Thank you Natalya.
