Kookaburra

I took the photo of this bird a few years back in a bird sanctuary in the south of France. And the last year made it in an oil painting. I finished it only last night. It’s the first oil painting I ever made and I know it is not perfect but i’m a little bit proud of it so I really wanted to share it with you all.

@monikozi ohh I missed that one, Lol!
@casablanca Thank you so much, still love this bird.....although after a year working mainly on the under layer I was a little fed up with him.

[moni kozi]

But i hope it is duly displayed somewhere... I know I would proudly display it in my house.

[Jacqueline]

@monikozi It is, standing in his frame in the bookcase.
