Geese In Flight

Feeling a little more confident about the brush strokes involved in painting Canada geese, I ventured to do something on a larger scale.  Armed with a large and a medium size brush, and sheets of 4 ft. Xuan, I went to work.

Goofing around on scrap paper is one thing, but trying to paint something for "real" is another thing.
I've told myself a million times, it's only paper..........go for it.............the waste basket is only a few feet away........I could always practise my finger tip release and see if I could create a back spin as the wad of Xuan flying  towards the can.  Only to freeze up when I perceived that something might be at stake.  Fear of failure!  I can only blame my parents, my teachers and any one who dared to place expectations on me.

Anyways, here are the results.





My next challenge would be to incorporate these into a background.
