The Bird

Hi!
I was going through some old pics today and found this bird I painted a while back.

I really like it! I love when really detailed, realistic pictures are put on a completely different, unrelated background. Wait... now that I look more, maybe the blue & white is supposed to be like a cage in the background? In any case, it looks cool with the less-detailed background, and your bird is really well-painted!

Thank you for the nice comments. 
The background isn't a cage. I was going for 70's style wallpaper with the background, except I found that orange wouldn't look so good with my bird. Like you, I really like the realistic object/simple non-related background combo.

Thanks!

I love it!   Looks like you did a wonderful job on the wing coloration.

Thanks... they are really detailed, it looks better in person, of course! 
It was a long and tedious job, but it was worth it.

That's really nice! I love the juxtaposition of the detailed, rich-looking bird and the minimal background (and I adore birds!). Nice job!
