Here is my latest. Larger than most I have completed so far. About 20 x 24 or so. Tried a few different things on this one. Thanks for looking. jjj

Nice job JJJ! Your bird came out excellent. The pine cones are also well done. The snow on the branch
on my monitor has a yellow tint to it. I think if you blued it a little it would look better. Just my opinion.

All the best,
Jim

I agree with everything Jim wrote. Your mountains are beautiful and I like how you have what appears to be late afternoon light - nice glowy feeling. (It just occurred to me that he doesn't have any feet; can they tuck them in under their belly where you can't see them on the branch? I don't know - just curious.)

Thanks Jim. I do have blue, even some pink, on the snow on the branch. The computer washed it out a bit. I bet it would look better with some more. Thanks again. jjj

Thanks Kim. Late afternoon,early evening is what I was going for. Yes, birds tuck their feet under the belly feathers. The reference photo showed no feet, which was ok with me because feet on birds are not the easiest thing to do anyway. Thanks again. jjj

Good painting, very nice; but it needs some place at the top and at the bottom I think. İf background at top was light blue, it would be more pleasing to me, the picture would be more bright ( my opinion).--- Suna.
