Woodpecker by Jenny Jepson

Why, I think this is lovely.... I would feel very proud if i did this. The tree and feathers are very lifelike.

Lovely, agree with last comment. Is it the photo that makes it look a bit faded? I think it did succeed.

It looks great to me ! You can feel its feathers on its breast and it looks just like ones that come to our old pear tree. Well done.

Many thanks for your comments; I would like to be a little bolder with my colours.

Gorgeous picture.

I think you have done wonders with this pastel, it's lovely. Texture is good on the feathers and the tree bark particularly.

Its great

Sometimes delicate colours work. This is one example.

I love this picture...you have a brilliant portfolio.

Thank you all for such encouraging comments.
