Blue Bird in Crabapple tree

This was one of two or three painting I did on commission for a family in Chicago. I am still looking for the slides of the other two. At the time I thought they would hate it, too busy. But they loved it and after so much time has passed, I am OK with it too, still too busy I think but I tend to over think and overwork all my paintings. I enjoy the process too much maybe. I painted this sometime between 2000 and 2004.
