New Painting Hawk Wings: Work in Progress 8

Making some nice progress although it seems slow. 

Here is the painting today.

To see the step by step photos read on after the break.

I glazed the bird with an orange mix to play on the cool warm contrast between foreground and background, added some detail to his prey and the pine branches.

I darkened the clouds in the bottom of the picture and continued adding detail to the pine tree.

I lightened the sky behind the back wing, added some white markings to his body

 and added more detail to the foreground branches.
