Even the Birds are Blue

Why did I want to paint this? Well, I like birds and I like color and I wanted to try ........something. This piece has quite a bit of texture built up on it, and I guess I'm trying to convince myself I need to start painting with oils. The old problem of trying to work into dried paint and frozen texture the next day is a drag............literally.

For a smaller piece like this...."Baby Bluebirds" 9 x 12 it's not so bad because I can totally repaint if I need to. For the bigger ones..........the acrylics are not allowing me to continue painting into wet paint the next day. If I'm not right on at the first try..........well I'm stuck because everything is dried. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRgh!
