Nice Davinci! The female Cardinal doesn't get half the recognition she deserves. Just beautiful!

very nice looking ladybird there, poppa!

Thanks Ericka, Cami and Donna..I'm not crazy about how this ended up...but what the heck.

Oh, the moon shines tonight on pretty Redwing
The breezes sighing
The nightbirds crying

Far away beyond the skies
her lover's sleeping
while Redwing's weeping
her heart away

I think she's very beautiful... it looks like a relaxed painting...the feathers look downy and soft, like they should.

Thanks....it's prettier in the photo...

I like that brushstroked look. Beautiful job!

awesome 'painted' look davinci!
