This is an oil version of a similar toucan I did in watercolor. I thought I was done with it and it was sitting around for a while before I added the finishing touches I thought it needed.
The colors and personality really called out to me. I love the intense way you use color.

Just perfect, looking at the subtle shading in his eye, wonderful! The beak is surreal, looks like a city skyline reflected over water up close.Maria Mills 26 Feb 2010
