Arctic Tern [A-Z challenge]

Here is my first attempt at painting terns.

This is from a photo by Gaukur. [Thanks Gaukur]

I found it hard to get much detail at this size [2.5" x 3.5"][6cm x 9cm], so will probably try again a bit larger.

Still very nice though, captures the "jizz" very well.

I love that painting - reminds me of a couple of books I have, illustrated by Bruce Pearson I think. The strong lighting is wonderful.

Beautifully done, Nina!!! As I said in Sue's thread, it feels a little like cheating since I get to see your painting before our due date!!! *smile*

It is going to take some judging these pictures that you are all doing are wonderful.

Captures so much..it's like a memory as opposed to an illustration ,if you know what i mean.

Nice painting Nina. These terns are so elegant, and you catch the right jizz.
