Scruffy Kingfisher

Padlock uploads fabulous photos of kingfishers, and I had a go at painting one.

If you go to his latest upload, https://365project.org/padlock/365/2021-08-06 it's an amazing painting of one of his photos. One day, when I grow up, I know I'll never be that good!!

@30pics4jackiesdiamond This is fabulous! You have rendered this sooooo beautifully and artistically. I first saw kingfishers here on 365, and i love these birds because of their colours. And this is simply an amazing painting. Very well done!

Is that second link really a painting??? I mean... why buy a camera if one can paint like that?

[moni kozi]

On a second thought, Jacqueline painted something in that league... so why not?

You have done a good job capturing this bird. I especially like the texture of the feathers on its head and the colors of the bird.

you rendered the bird's scruffiness quite well, my lady.
