A Bird in the Hand

 I've been making monoprint masks and thinking of shapes that would work, so it was only a matter of time before a bird found its way into the mix. I got the initial marks on the paper by blotting off most of the paint with a piece of paper, then added some random strokes before I added the bird. I liked the clean look, so I stopped there.

 Happy Tuesday
