Another study....

Well, technically this didn't start out as a study. It was a larger piece that I abandoned early on.  As I start with the bird and work my way out, this part of the painting was finished so I creatively cropped it to a 5" x 7".  I used to paint quite a few statues with birds - many of them were angel statues.  You can see an angel wing feather behind the bird.
