SWEET LITTLE BIRDIE



This 8"x10" canvas was made today with me trying my hand at a bit of wire work. I love the look of bird cages but wanted something rustic and not perfect so I set about making my own. When finished with the wire creating I coated the cage with antique gold paint then added patina over the top to give an antique finish.
The background is done with acrylics with napkins added on top.
Thanks for looking
