red tail hawk...another hand-painted puzzle

[bubbantenn]

This is another of my hand-painted puzzles in progress...a red tail hawk. I have trouble with sky's, especially clouds. I re-painted the sun, too, 5 different times, until I was satisfied. I'm still not completely satisfied but I'll take it. Anyway, this one is ready for the first coat of Mod Podge. After I do that I think I am going to my shop to cut my hand-painted great horned owl that I posted about a week or so ago...still hadn't found time to cut it until today.
Thanks for looking. I'll post pictures of both puzzles after they are cut.

Very nice painting Bubba! I like it just how you have it. Your sun, sky and clouds have a special flair!

Looks super. Did you paint directly on the wood or some other material? Will you post the finished puzzle?

Super painting, Bubba! Wish I could paint like that. I would love to cut puzzles from original painting on wood.

I glued my paper to the wood, then painted the picture. I do it both ways, though, painting directly on wood I mean. I just like doing it different ways.
Yes, I will post the finished puzzle. I already have the first coat of Mod Podge drying.
Thanks for the comments and compliments.

To heck with the sun. The bird is great.

Another nice painting bubbantenn, well done. I used to draw/draft a lot of my work striaght to wood on my Pyro work, I just found it easier than having to use transfer paper.

Doing hybrid Pyro and Scroll work I am experimenting with pattern creation atm so will probably have to use both methods of direct drawing on the wood for the pyro part and paper for the cuts.

Anyhow, nice work,
