Super precise, expertly rendered to the point of it not seeming possible, and just flat out stunning!<br /><br />Awesome composition. The bird looks like it's posing for a picture.<br /><br />This painting is pretty much grays and blacks and yet it is so visually interesting.<br /><br />Be proud of this one. It's a winner!<br /><br />-DeanDean Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01014573083751127043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6627298794140083049.post-43548484966727805432009-05-01T22:26:00.000-07:002009-05-01T22:26:00.000-07:00Doris, thank you for your compliment!Doris, thank you for your compliment!artbyakikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12098738595029647247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6627298794140083049.post-20705517973768577822009-05-01T18:22:00.000-07:002009-05-01T18:22:00.000-07:00Akiko, I know what the judges saw in it!

It's so hard to depict black subjects, and you've done it masterfully! All the detail in the feathers - I feel like I can touch them. I know what you mean though...Sometimes the works I'm proudest of won't generate any interest, and the ones I'm almost embarassed to list will get bid up.Debra Keircehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12391213568280558242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6627298794140083049.post-43903565428897600792009-04-25T12:02:00.000-07:002009-04-25T12:02:00.000-07:00well done!
