Description
*Edit* Thank you so much for the DD!Oil on Canvas of a Grackle in a stream. 24"x36"
The funny thing about this painting is I went to the Fort Worth Zoo to get some animal shots for potential paintings and as I was walking into the zoo I saw this grackle sitting there. I took the shot and out of all the photos I took while in the zoo,(which was probably around 80) this is the one I painted.

I HAVE to comment when I love something, even when I don't have something intelligent to say about it. I love the beauty of this, the gentle blues and grays are so pretty.

Hey thanks a bunch, I really appreciate the compliment. You know when we comment on people's work we don't have to post some script to razzle dazzle, a simple comment of appreciation from the heart is worth more than something forced. You know? So with that, I appreciate your comment a lot.

Whoa, that's insane! I can't imagine painting all those pebbles... and then trying to put a reflection on top of it! It came out beautifully! I love the character of the grackle, and the little leaf propped up at his side.

Thank you , yeah it took some time no doubt but I was hopping between 2-3 other paintings so it helped break up the "grind" of painting all those pebbles.

That's good - sometimes you have to do that. My problem is I get so engrossed in the other projects that I forget to come back. Whoops.

very, very beautiful! It looked like a photograph to me until I noticed the bird's eye. Sort of gave it away as a painting then, but I guess that's intentional.

Thank you I really appreciate it. It wasn't intentional but now I am curious.

you'Re welcome.
And I know that this kind of bird has pale blue eyes by nature but these are just a bit too light. Make them a bit darker and they will look realistic and not stand out so much.
