The avocet is the emblem of the RSPB, a distinctively patterned black and white wader with that wonderful upcurved beak! Wonderful birds to paint - for another avocet I did a few weeks back click here.
Tomorrow Gary and I are off on a Falconry Day in Mid Wales - it's been cancelled 4 times before due to weather but fingers crossed it will go ahead tomorrow - really looking forward to it and am sure to find some inspiration for paintings! Hopefully I'll have time to do a quick sketch for the challenge when we get home tomorrow evening!
Such a lovely painting of this little bird. Hope you enjoy your day.

ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful bird to see and you have captured it very well in this painting. Only 4 more to go.
