Big Bird

Love it Satu! A lovely painting of a very quirky bird.

He seems to have a personality! He knows what he wants and he's going for it. Lovely image!

There's a small flock of these near me - fantastic birds (and, I'm afraid, excellent eating!). Not wild, you understand, it's a maintained flock..... Exotic though the Isle of Wight is, we don't normally run to Guinea Fowl.

This is great, Satu! I love the shape as well and I also like your very individual twist on the subject.

Thank you Christine,Louise, Robert and Thea for your kind comments! Robert, I have never seen those birds so you are really lucky to have them on your island.

Lovely sheen on the neck and body. The background shows him up well.

Excellent. This just works so well. Vaguely exotic/pre-historic ....

Wow! This is a wonderful Guinea Fowl painting. Iv'e had it in mind to paint one for a few months now and have looked at so many versions, particularly in South Africa but this is sublime! I feel so inspired, thank you.

Thank you so much Carole, Gudrun and Fran! Glad that you found inspiration in my bird Fran!

Lovely vibrant Guinea Fowl Satu

I used to see a lot of these when I lived in Botswana, they are real characters. A lovely painting and the background works so well.

Thank you Ros and Lesley!

Hi Satu thanks for you comment on my grand national pastel portrait, thanks for taking a look!

You are getting better and better. Love it!!
