Never have I been so surrounded by magnificent birdlife as we are living in the Southern Highlands in NSW. Cocktaoos, galahs, kookaburras, fairy wrens, magpies, currawongs, parakeets, lorikeets, ALL the keets! So it would be rude NOT to paint some birdies, wouldn't it?
The "Cliques" have been ever so popular and here is the latest in my Birdlandia series, "Little Clique".
Had to wait until the top coat was perfectly dry before ageing the surface to achieve the patinated effect with all the paint layers below revealed. After photographing I applied a nice glossy varnish.
