Woodcock

Thought i would show you this one.
Shows how these birds are so well camouflaged when at rest.
Won"t put the size or medium on in case certain people think i am trying to sell.
Won"t mention any names Boddie!

Best from mike.

Re: Woodcock

Hi Mike
I agree with the others, what a great painting and I would imagine it's not easy to get that effect with the subtle use of colours.
Lovely!
Suzanne

Re: Woodcock

Mike, I'v often admired your work and thought it about time I congratulated you not only for this entry but all your previous paintings.

The fantastic atmosphere of the Blue Tit being my particular faviourite thus far. Keep up the work and continue to show us in the New Year.

Regards

Rob
