Winged Rainbows-Lorikeets

Close up

Oil on 5x7 canvas panel.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Christine was the gracious hostess. Thanks for the great reference photos.

These colorful birds really appealed to me. I checked them out on the internet, and found that they're called Rainbow Lorikeets. I'd probably break my neck going for my camera if one ever landed at my feeder. But that's not too likely as they are native to Australia.
Some palette knife was used but this was done mostly with a loaded brush.

John 20^:11 Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb ¹² and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.

I just had to try this cute eucalyptus leaf muncher! The biggest challenge for me were the many subtle colors in the soft toned gray fur.
I started with a painting knife then switched to a brush...this seems to inspire and remind me to apply the paint generously. An enjoyable painting for me. Hope y'all like it. :)
