Work in Progress: Grey Parrot

I don't have a specific title for this new piece yet, but today I started an artwork depicting an African grey parrot. It's 20 x 16 inches on wood panel, oil pastels and colored pencils so far. I'm still thinking about what I want to do with the background but I have a few ideas in mind. It's probably going to most be a monochromatic artwork, but I may change my mind.

I am going to apply to a group show at a museum and the deadline is coming up so I thought I'd try to get a few more pieces done by then so I can pick from among the best to send in with my application.
