A month into the project

I’m still keeping up, but I forgot I was supposed to do two paintings on the figure page (there are fewer pages than weeks in a year, so I’m pacing a couple weeks on the same page), and to make up for it I’m spending the next 4 Mondays on the birds. I’m going to be living on this spread for a month, hopefully it won’t be covered in coffee, fingerprints, and cat feet by the end.

(Paper is warped because I gessoed it, it’ll dry flat)
