Rhonda he is simply beautiful. You certainly have a way with painting birds. This is a great subject. We don't have too many KingFishers near us. Hope you have a great weekend. Hugs!
Thank you, Debbie :). There are none around me but I don’t have a stream near me - perhaps wherever there are streams? This is another Costa Rica photo Sweetie took this year. So many wonderful reference photos for me to paint!
Thanks so much, Chris :). Yes, that bill looks a bit scary but it does the trick with spearing a little fish, I think :).
nicely finished :) the background colours and the bird colours go well together :) supposed to be Kingfishers around here, but I haven't seen any, might have to spend more time at the loch or down by the village green where the stream runs :)
I'd love to see one in action, Asit, but we don't have them here. This was a Costa Rica photo.
Thanks so much, Sadami and Laura, Alice Jo and Jennifer Rose :) I appreciate your comments all the time!!
Lisa, thanks :) I am gaining a good collection before 2018 is gone (seems like it's going quickly now that the heat and humidity of summer are fading).

Wow, Rhonda! Worth the wait. Another beauty!
I'd be on red alert if I saw that bill looming down on me.

Well I am lucky. We have a lot of Kingfishers around. The colours of this bird are fabulous and you have done full justice to it. Great.
Great work, Rhonda!! You have to come to Sydney and sketch our birds. Cheers, Sadami
Beautiful, and one of my favorite shorebirds.
Good choice to minimize the background
I like this! Nice work, Rhonda.

That bill is fierce! I'm loving your year of birds - you have quite a collection.
