European Starling Oil Painting

[Gus Hallgren]

Hi folks

Another visitor by a stranger to our garden. This bird has 3 different male plumages, Early Spring, Spring male, Winter Adult. Think this one is the "Spring Male"

Painting done using Free Fotosketcher, with finishing in CS4

CC's invited.

Nice image and application, Gus.

Your getting good at that free program. I've tried it with little success. Need to work more on the settings I guess. :confused:

Like your series on this program however. :cool:

Hus, Nice painted look. I'm wondering about a little more room on the bottom. Thanks for the info on the plumage. I like your results from FotoSketcher.

You do get some wonderful results from FotoSketcher, Gus. And this is another. The colors are beautiful and the catchlight is 'spot on'.:) Kora

Excellent colors and painted effect, Gus. I'll have to check out that program at some point. Nice pose, and I'm with Denise on wanting a bit more room on the bottom.

Gus, you've made me want to go back and revisit Fotosketcher:) What a beautiful painting. I'd like a little more room on the left.
