30 in 30 - Day 4

Some of you may have already caught this, but the post for Day 4 was not supposed to be until 12:01 AM on Jan. 5.  This challenge began on Jan. 2nd.
So - thanks to Claire - I am now on target for posting on the right day!

Hi Pattie, this is a beautiful painting and the dark woodsy background shows the Quail off really well.
I don't always identify birds correctly so forgive me if it is some other species.
Glad I got to enjoy your blog for a few minutes , now I'm off to paint.

Love your paintings - really really great work. I am now a follower!
