Two Birds.

[Ern007]

The Peacock was painted by a neighbour, the same neighbour who I have posted her bird art before. The Kingfisher I painted. 1st time ever. My neighbour is a waterclour artist, Igave her some acrylic and this was her first attemt, pretty good I though.

[helenlw7]

The birds are beautifully but I love the peacock.

[Ern007 in reply to helenlw7]

Thank you yes, was painted by a lady who paints birds in watercolour, I painted the Kingfisher as the easiest, I had to edit, the wings where red. she is much better at birds than I am.

[Ern007 in reply to slram]

Yes it is Sharon, painted in Acrylic by a watercolour artist who lived close by, I was editing the best Kingfisher when you posted,

I can picture that peacock painted onto a Chinese vase at hundreds of thousands of pounds. I think they look lovely together. I especially like how you've painted the backgrounds.

Thank you Collie4

[Fudgely]

The birds are truly beautiful.

[Ern007 in reply to Fudgely]

Thank you Fudgely

[Ergendl]

Your different treatment of birds on branches against a pale blue background, is interesting. You go for minimalist realism while your neighbour prefers more complex fantasy.

[Ern007 in reply to Ergendl]

Thank you Ergend1'. Interesting I felt. I had to be minimalist to follow the gaudy peacock .

[Emerald52]

Amazing.

[Ern007 in reply to Emerald52]

Thank you. Emerald52

[Numptybrain]

[Smilesalot]

You must be really happy to have a neighbour you can talk art to and exchange ideas. 🤗 both birds are gorgeous in there own right. I do love the peacock😉But kingfishers are my 3 rd fav bird.

Hugs Dawn 🤗

[Ern007 in reply to Smilesalot]

Thank you smilesalot - Yes neigbours are good, I have posted this lady's art once before, she is a watercolour artist although she now tries acrylic. . Peacocks are very showy, we once lived about three miles from some and we could here them in the evening. I now have to think for my next painting soon Lancashire Hugs for you..

[PaperQueen]

Beautiful Ern. We have Kingfishers on our village lake. They are so special and a privilege to get a glimpse of. xx

[Ern007 in reply to PaperQueen]

Thank you peper Queen - I live in a village but never seen a Kingfisher, maybe as a child. I like birds kept them for many years. Budgies and tropical birds. xx
