Mockingbird


This is the 4th project from my Susan Bourdet online class (I haven't completed project 3 yet).  This little mockingbird made itself at home on the front porch one cold winter morning and I just happened to have my camera when I opened the door.  I combined several reference photos to get the begonia to look good (they get a bit ugly in the winter - I guess they don't like being shut up either).  I really enjoyed all of the detail in this one and the background was really fun to create.
