Sacred Kingfisher in acrylics

I was looking at some photos that  I took years ago at Taronga Zoo and came across this one.  Really like the way it is perched on the branch and the angle of its head so decided to paint it.

Orange Breasted Waxbill in acrylics

I love the feather colours of this one -  really pleased with how it turned out.  I also tried out  a new red (Napthol Crimson) as they have discontinued one of the reds I used to use.  Mixed with yellow it makes a really a nice  vibrant orange which work really well for this painting.
