Aw cool :) what a great area to travel. Kruger is much bigger than I expected. Looks like a gorgeous place! The crested barbet is lovely, sure is a cool looking dude! Love this coat!
Your painting as always is super engaging. I love they layering texture and how you’ve managed to capture depth/distance within it... I really feel like I’m looking into a scene! Great techniques with getting the foreground grass and distant background. You’re a very talented artist
Aaah you are the only one so far who actually acknowledged it been a Crested barbet. And the fact he has a different `coat' than the Black-collared barbet, he is still a cool dude!
