        Continuing with birds …this one was just for fun (and to learn).

        We have five pair that live nearby our home – they’re always at the feeders.

        I’m happy with most of it – but not the tail feathers. I either need more detail, or far less.

        C&C welcome. This weekend I’m going to play with architecture.

        Nice work, I was amazed when I saw my first one in Michigan. We have nothing that colour in the UK.

            It’s always remarkable to see the five males and their mates (a bit less bright) every day at our feeders. Such a treat.

                            Very nice and fine implementation –
                            unfortunately, there is no such bird with us!

                                Beautiful painting. A common sighting around my home. They make such beautiful songs too.

                                    Well done, Tom. Lovely portrait of the male. The tale does look a little off.

                                    Very nice cardinal! We have them outside in the berry bushes.

                                        I love the cardinal, we saw many of them when we lived in Richmond, Virginia. You have captured him well!

                                            Excellent Mr Williams – IMO the painting is just right! Like good poetry. 👍👍👍

                                            As long as there is light, I will paint it.

                                                Very nice! I like that the bird takes center stage. I think feathers can be tricky and will be trying my hand at some of those soon with a rooster. You have done a lovely Cardinal.

                                                        Thomas, I thought of your paintings this morning when i got to my grandmother’s house in South Florida. She’s originally from rural Maryland and comes from a long line of duck hunters who carve their own decoys. One of her nephew’s carves and paints these as well. There are so many more species around the house, but I didn’t want to derail your thread. I can PM more photos of them if you’d like.




                                                        Keep painting your awesome bird paintings!
