Flock of geese - step I... Another commission work!

Last week, I did a first pass at another flock of Canada geese (I've done three so far)...

I'm going for a "partially abstracted" flock of birds. I still need to figure out the bunch on the right side!

Note: I've been plagued by a major sciatic nerve problem over the last few weeks... thank God I usually paint by one hour spurts!
