This is an extremely beautiful painting and you have demonstrated great skill in your handling of the media and a lovely sense of composition. The soft, blurry watercoloured/airbrushed background is a perfect backdrop for the vivid blue and orange birds who are just about to have some tucker! Marked as a favourite!

For anyone who would like to know, the back ground was done in oils wet into wet, then when it was dry, I layed one or two thin washes in oils over it, that helped to soften my brushwork, whilst working around my images and the branch

You are so-o-o-o-o talented Eric!
