Say hello to Iris, a purple finch who’s not at all pleased with what’s going on. Paints: Cadmium Red (pale hue), Dioxazine Purple

A watercolor painting of a purple finch perched on a branch. The branch extends on an angle from the bottom to the middle of the left side of the painting. The finch is perched upon it, facing the left. Its body, wings, and tail are purple, and its head is a light burgundy. Around its eyes is a mask of purple feathers. It has a thick, pointy, light orange beak that’s slightly downturned.
