Painting: Cactus Wren on Pine Cone

[Gus Hallgren]

Hi Folks;

Captured this Cactus Wren (Arizona's State Bird) eating suet out of a pine cone in our garden this morning.

Comments always welcome and appreciated

Nice job on this one. I really like the BG.

Gus, The pine cone adds to the image. I like the pose and the painterly look, I might tone down the head ever so slightly if it were mine. Well done.:)

[Indranil Sircar]

Beautiful composition in your signature style, Gus. Love the pose and the perch. Agree with Denise on toning down the head just a bit. TFS.

[Judy Howle]

Very nice capture of the wren and I like your painting technique.

[Christopher Miller]

Very nice, Gus! Good pose and painting look. Love the pine cone perch and "camo" BG colors.

Good job Gus. I like how the bright parts of the bg make the wren stand out a bit. I see these birds in the desert and love to watch them.
