Glad you went with it Paulette this is a pure delight. Such detail and texture, beautiful....even if he looks like an unmade bed.....and not because of your painting, he must be moulting

Pastel pencils on Strathmore toned paper. Sometimes things just happen in art. I have always avoided painting birds, I love them but I have some good friends who paint birds and it was an area that I have tried to avoid as I have enough variety to paint and draw as it is.
