On this step the fur on the wolf's back was done in many layers of carefully applied pastel. It is unfortunate that this photo does not capture the detail of the fur accurately. I will attempt to take a better photo for the next update.
Painting this bird in blue will give me an excellent opportunity to produce Christmas cards. Along with the similar red cardinal in snow scene that was previously painted, both will be available as cards in the near future.
On this last step of the painting, I completed the belly, wing and tail feathers as well as the branch and foot. I redefined more of the pine branches to darken the background a bit more. And voila, here is my "little prince in blue"!
