Lapwing and Long-tailed Tits

I have used the Lapwing image on my previous blog's sidebar
The head is the most important part to get right as its what the bird is all about from a recognition point


The Long-tailed Tits effort was originally started as an exercise in painting leaves, but I added the birds as an after thought

    Thanks Kathie.

    Thanks Nic, I was touching a dark green on a lighter green to make that look as it does, which is kind of like the real thing. The Lapwing is such a colourful bird.

    I love the birds you added in...it really balances the painting and the postures are all so interesting. You have such a great modern style.

    Like your work! We only see bush-tits visit our suet - so it is a treat to see a long-tailed tit!
