After working on the bird during the past week, I finally reached this point where I think it is about completed. I'll put it aside for a while then come back in another week or so and look at the painting with fresh eyes seeing if it needs anything else done to it. This was a new bird for me, one I haven't yet seen in the wild - apparently they are rare in the US. Still, getting close to this one was quite an experience which was magnified when seeing it in flight diving to a lure - simply wonderful to watch! Size is about 11 x 7.5 inches, watercolor on Arches paper.
