I don't know of course if you did paint this very quickly, but it looks as though you did, and this is its strength - there is an entirely spontaneous feel, and it works well with the luminous light. Those wings are just about perfectly done: you've caught not only the grace, but the strength of this bird.

I agree with Robert, the light in the painting is beautiful, a lovely painting of a magnificent bird

An attractive painting in the "loose" style. You have captured the action superbly! Well done!

I love way in which you have captured the character of the bird while keeping everything so simple

Super painting - just enough definition to tell us what is going on but also lots of interesting paint interaction to give that spontaneous, fresh and loose feel.
