I think you did a damn fine job! Always wanted to see a kingfisher in the wild, but never been lucky enough. I think you captured this onbe perfectly. Bill Oddie would be proud! Maria x |

He's tremendous, Jinny I'm glad the lack of CraftBoard served some use - only inspired me to acquire even more grey hair

Jinny that is terrific, I love Kingfishers, when we were little they were flying down by the river all the time, since growing uo and in the last few years I have only ever seen 1 and thatwas at the beck behind the house, and Rachel thought it was somebody's exotic bird got lose??? It was her first sighting of a Kingfisher. Poppy |

Really, really beautiful - the vivid colours really stand out (if it had been more turquoisy it wouldn't have been so striking I reckon) never seen a kingfisher in real life (seems to be more wildlife in urban areas than down here in the country now)So, it was worth all the withdrawal symptoms eh
Love x PS - what was that bright yellow thing in the sky today - looked on the internet and found it was a thing called The Sun

Thank you Poppy and Terry Col it didnt take that long really,i drew the kingfisher first then waxed a watery blue for the sky and then scratched out the blue where my kingfisher was( that took the time ) Then painted on wax Took about an hour an a half all in all!

This is really very good. I was wondering how you did it, but have just read you reply to Col. you must have plenty of patience. I know when i did silky, it took me ages to scratch her out, and she was only little!
