Gilded Flicker Painting

[Gus Hallgren]

Hi Folks;

Captured this Gilded Flicker in our neighborhood, and created the Oil painting using Alien Skin Art Rage free trial that gives you use of the full program, I am impressed with it and have only scratched the surface, though, nails worn down to the quick

Comments always welcome. Thank you!

Keep smiling

I like the pose of the flicker and the contrast of its warm colors with the cooler background. I'd be inclined to give it a bit more room over its head, though.

Hi Dennis;

Thanks for looking & your suggestion. Here's a little more room at the top that I agree looks better.

Best regards

Gus

Gus, I like the repost better. Nice job with the capture and the painterly look. Maybe a sliver more on the bottom. You surely have a nice assortment of subjects to shoot.

Thank you Denise, here's your sliver on the bottom

Hi Folks;

Hi Gus, love the look to this. It reminds me of a paint-by-number painting, but that could be because I am currently doing many color-by-number coloring books with my 4 year old daughter.

Hi Andrew;

Thanks for looking.

Goes to show you how things have adsvanced: I'm 88, your daughter is 4, and she's nipping at my heels

[Steve Adkins]

Great repost, Gus. Fun subject and I like your style!

Very neat image and application, Gus.

I lke the effect and the image. Nicely done.

I agree with Andrew, it's nice to see you get the finger paints out again.

When you're young, it's cute and educational. When you're "older" it's therapy!
