Ok this took about three days with a few hours for each day, it's my first real painting and it was made entirely with watercolours on some type of watercolour board thing.. I guess it's a start!
Couldn't scan it as I was on holiday at the time and now the picture is sitting in my future mother-in-law's house as a gift :> So a photo was the best I could do!

Very nice! I once tried to paint a Kingfisher but gave up, swearing that it must be impossible to get that brilliant blue right and that no one could do it... and here you are proving me wrong! :t:

I'd say it's a great start. I wish I had half the talent that I see here.

Oh thankyou SO much guys! I've not painted since I was in school really..! I made this while I was on holiday so it might be a bit difficult to churn out anymore art for a while, full time work and all.

Welcome from this quarter as well! I do think that one thing that allows people here to find time to get some artwork in amidst the demands of work etc. is the constant inspiration that is here.
