Very nice, I like the reflection. Also good job with remembering to take photos at different stages during the painting process (I never remember).

Hi,

Thanks! This is one of the few paintings that I managed to have images throughout the progress of the piece. Hopefully I’ll get to post more of them in the future.

I am just stunned by your work. I can’t believe this is water colors.
I love nature and wildlife…I used to sketch in colored pencils a lot as a kid…there is one sketch of a Kingfisher on my Flickr site…would love it if you would take a look.
I think you are just so blessed that this is your life’s work.

Murtuza,

Thanks!

Sorry, I didn’t see the Kingfisher on your Flickr site, but your colored pencil piece on ink wash looks very nice. It’s always nice to talk to other artists that care about wildlife.

Thanks for sharing!
Bonnie
