New Painting Hawk Wings: Work in Progress 6

I've decide to go with more visible brush strokes on this painting.
Here is how it looks this afternoon.

To see the step by step photos read on after the break.
 
 
 
This morning I started painting over the sky with a larger brush 
and thicker paint to intentionally leave some brush strokes on the canvas.

Continuing with the sky in the upper right hand corner.

Finishing up the sky in the bottom of the painting. 
I want a more dramatic sky and more contrast to make the hawk pop.

Here I really punched up the highlights and shadows 
on the hawk to bring it forward even more.

There is a ton more to do but it seems like I have a better plan for this painting now.
