Hello, I have been lurking BirdForum for some time now and enjoying it very much, so maybe it's time I introduce myself. My name is Ricardo, I live in Lima, Peru and I am a painter or so they say. I like painting sea skapes, sea birds and boats basically. Of course I love and admire all sorts of birds and in Peru there are many. I have already posted a painting about Inca Terns which I hope you like. I plan to post some more in the following days, but I don't have many though...

Best regards,
Ricardo

PS forgot to mention: I'm 60... (time flies!)

what a wonderful piece of work! I'm so glad that you shared it with us, and I certainly hope you'll share more too! The birds are truly solid and alive.

Super work Ricardo, You've joined in with the best bit of BF. Welcome to the basement.

I've only encountered Inca terns in a collection here, what outstandingly beautiful birds they are, and your rendition certainly does them justice.
