Finishing the unfinished business

If you remember, I started this painting last September. In the mist of my final rush to finish stuff, this painting was put aside, because I had ran into some creative blockage...
Now I am finishing it for the student exhibition (ASE) and it's going well. I was inspired by a fellow blogger, who has been very very kind and supportive to my blog, and is very nature& environmentally conscious, after seeing many post on his blog I decided to make some changes to the painting. The bird in the older version, was a dead bird, now I am making it alive and standing, adding more connection to the woman in fur. I hope to finish this painting in time, despite the good weather outside...:0)
