ooooh he's/she's such a beauty Mr. Beaty!! love love love the way you draw birdies!! very nice.

FAnks EEE and Donna.

He's so cute, really great picture :D

Thanks Katya :0)

pwitty :) I wish the background was kinda different though.

I got room..whattya think I should do to it

well I haven't even seen the photo ref., since when I click stuff, I get booted... I dunno, just ignore me, it's fine as is.

copy and paste you wont get the boot

ya- see, that bg has some browns and stuff in it too..

It does? lol I'll have to stare at it... looks green to me ..(maybe I'm colorblind and don't know it)

I think we already established the fact that you're colorblind, when you drew my portrait. :)

Hahahahaha maybe! Your hair isn't green???

my shirt wasn't pink, I don't do pink!

artistic license?

I'm not hearing any of that. I don't do pink! A dusty mauve, perhaps. But no pink.

It was mor fuschia.. ?

It was supposed to be like a subdued burnt orangey. Ya know, to match my RED hair. You claimed you could not find that color on the lascaux applet, which was a bunch of hooey 'cause you can make ANY color with lascaux.

Not if ya cant see it...:0) I thought it went well with the green hair..

Anyway, if you can FIND the right brown, add it to this bg. :)

Okies.. I'll try.. (no pink?)

nice! <3 the birdie

thanks Anna...;0)

Well he must need to go to the bathroom. Get it? I made a Poppa'ism.
He's a pretty bird. You make me actually LIKE birds Dave, you do them so well.

Thanks Barb.. ( I don';t get the the other...?)

Dave , Dave, I finally got a pun on you.
European Robin..... European. Ya see?:D

OOOOOHhhhh urine fine form then!

This is the most beautiful bird painting...his little feathers are perfect, and. I was just s t a r i n g at the metal plate on the wood...I was trying to figure out how you got it to look so realistic, older metal is hard to do because it isn't quite as shiny, you still made it look like metal, and you even managed to get all the colors right and there's a great reflection in there. Wonderful job.

Lots of dodge /burn/low opacity (and eyestrain).. Fanks!

That's cool. The metal is brilliant, indeed :)

Thanks Roy!

Awsome Davincipoppalag! Sorry I have not commented sooner. That bird looks like it's ready for take off! Either that or its ready to Chirp.

thats a german robin.

You did a great job with the reference, very nice work.

Awwww I love bird drawings, you really did a great job here :)

Thanks all of you
