American Mother 2 8x10 oil by Leslie Newman

American Mother oil 8x10

This is a revision of my original American Mother. I realized I wanted to soften lines, blur the background  and lighten her body feathers.

So, I did those things and I like how it turned out so much better. I also roughed up the look of her

head feathers, and changed the position of her eye.

These simple changes really helped this painting, I am so glad I made them

I hope you enjoy the changes of this American Mother!
