Sadly, I found this female house Finch lifeless on my deck. It's not often I'm able to paint birds from life, so out came the paintbrushes. I painted her in the sunlight, tied with the only piece of ribbon I could put my hands on in that moment. House Finches are not the most colorful birds but, I enjoyed working with all the greys. I named the painting after the Tom Waits song, "Little Trip to Heaven." Sadly, I found this female house Finch lifeless on my deck.
