giant rhubarb and Moorhen (Gallinula chloropus)

This is my first painting in 4 months as I have been helping lookafter our son after an opp. Giant Rhubard (Gunnera) is widespread in Cornwall and in the Autumn (fall) it falls in the water creating great effects when backlit, The moorhen contrasts with the bright greens, My first painting of gunnera or Moorhen, I have another underway. Hope you like it
