Rook by Julie Bosley

Love it Julie

You have captured the sharp eyed look of a corvid very well

Knew these were yours as soon as I saw them Julie! As Peter has said you have really captured that sharp eyed look. The lovely autumnal background colours are perfect.

It must be that time of year, I'm seeing corvids of one type or another everywhere and like you, I want to paint/draw them. This is brilliant Julie, painted so well and the background suits the subject perfectly.

Lovely painting Julie...love that glint on the eyes!

Another beauty Julie and gorgeous background.

Lovely painting Julie, the interesting background works well!

Thank you all for the encouraging comments - I do enjoy painting birds.

Stunning piece, Julie! Just love the layers, the textures, the palette and the composition. Excellent positioning of the dramatic dark shape of the rook against the pastel hues of the backdrop. It's so very effective.

I love both joyride birds, but thinness superbly done. You've really caught that perceived sinister image of a rook.
