Here is a young Downey Woodpecker waiting for mom to come back. Size is 9.5 x 12.5 done on Canson paper. Thanks for looking. Jay

This is your best work yet Jay! Way to go! Background is excellent, detail in the bird is very well done,
and your foreground is well done too. Keep it up!
All the best,
Jim

I spotted a woodpecker in my neighborhood the other day. Now I know what type it was. Thanks for the painting.

Jay, this is very well done. You've really come far in the past several months (and you weren't shabby when you started out). You're a great example of diligence and practice and how much fun the results can be. I'm glad you're a part of this forum.

Thanks everyone. You are right about the diligence and practice. I have been going constantly for 2 years now and can see the improvement myself. Very satisfiying. A friend of mine told me a couple of years ago that if he had the natural talent to create art that he would do it everyday and that I was just waisting mine. Just wish I didn't wait 40 years to start. Oh well, at least I have it now. Thanks again everyone. Jay
