Lapwing

This is a great effect lovely study of this rare ( to us) bird.

You have captured the bird beautifully with minimal brushwork in the best oriental tradition. I love the granulation on the upper body which suggests the plumage perfectly.

This is lovely Brenda, good work.

Wonderful Brenda.

that's beautiful Brenda! I really like how the paint 'did it's own thing' or was it done on purpose? Either way, really interesting patterns created.

Thankyou all for your lovely comments. the texture was created with just a few salt cyrstals, the red stamp means 'painting brings pleasure'

I love Chinese Brush painting and this one of the Lapwing is just stunning
