    Masterful! So very lifelike and incredible! He obviously enjoyed your attention--what a flirt!
    I've never had a bird look at ME that way, LOL! Dreamy edges, as usual.

    Hi Diane - the little guy looks so coquettish! I love this one because of the colors and his cute pose, his eye spark ... oh, I just read that Kathryn said coquettish too :)
    Happy Painting!
