Since I've never seen these birds Arthur I can't begin to appreciate the rareness of such a view. But I do know a beautiful painting when I see it. Really striking and glowing with color! It's been a pleasure seeing it develop from start to finish.

Can only repeat what the others have said: it looks like a great beginning, and wonderfully composed.

Looks good Arthur. For some reason I had expected brighter colors but the subdued colors work well.
I had to take a look at my guide to European birds when I saw the bill. I've never seen the bird in the flesh and must just not have noticed it when I looked in the guidebooks. But I see that it really does have a small bill! I'm not sure I've ever seen a bird with a bill that small.

another superb piece Arthur - as always, the character of the bird is captured perfectly.

C'est pas ma faute, je suis anglais.
super piece, at first I was a bit surprised at how the colour of the bird is not in any way reflected in the background, but in fact, I think it's really clever, how the bird mirrors its environment through its pattern - the dark on the bird cuts nicely through its shape and weaves it into the rest. Another super piece!

Blimey! That's a lot of work in those beardies. It reminds me of Chinese embroidery work, all intricate little strokes making a colourful, coherent whole. Bravo indeed!
Love the ltt too, he quite happily inhabits the complex and almost abstract pattern of the branches and twigs.
