Greater Spotted Woodpecker by Leisure Painter

One of the best, but aren't you getting sick of this bird by now?

Sorry, misunderstood the posting arragements: thought you'd done the lot! Blame senile confusion following my broken arm...... Although actually, it's just senile confusion...

Just "spotted" that I put in the wrong measurements of the canvas . . .it should read 12" X 16". I see that so far I am the only person to omit the bird feeder. Artistic licence perhaps and I preferred to invent my own suggestion of a woodland background!

This caught my eye straight away - really like your background - in fact I much prefer it to the feeder. Excellent painting.

Agree with that - the feeder introduces an artificial note, this is a much better interpretation.

Dear Roger Well Done !!!. You have done a wonderful interpretation of the Challenge, I love the background. And it is nice when some people feel confident to add their own twist. Pauline Hill.
