Okay, I can be a little OCD, especially when working with oils.  I have been diligently working on a series of wild bird paintings.  These little 5 x 7 paintings make me smile and also grit my teeth when I look at them.  I spent countless hours on each one trying to get them “just right”.  I decided I needed a break, a break from painting nose hairs in the noses of tiny birds!  A break from taking off my glasses so I can see to paint.  So I broke out the acrylics and went wild!  It’s “Cucadoo Time”.  It’s a species I invented. They are seagull’s flashy distant cousins.  This painting was fun, liberating, and I didn’t even have to take off my glasses!  It was so much fun in fact, that I have started another.
