There's a sort of transparency to their beaks and the subtle pinky colour has made it look just like that!kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11458267354320757761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-77095536887262465992010-09-03T14:02:37.233-07:002010-09-03T14:02:37.233-07:00Love him!

Birds...This is brilliant Terri! I'm impressed. <br />Birds scare me sometimes (that's Hitchcock's fault...), and this lorikeet looks so real and bright. I don't want to meet him. ;-)Françoisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11177778039745875900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-18771587939041340292010-09-01T16:12:43.762-07:002010-09-01T16:12:43.762-07:00I lvoe your lorikeet.

I think that adding the neutral background to offset the bright mediums really offsets the bird -- and then the eye is drawn to the bird's eye -- for that little shot of black in the eye & carrying over across the top of the beak. Nice composition.Virginia Greaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02681407952010285083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-16224201454347066282010-09-01T14:28:24.989-07:002010-09-01T14:28:24.989-07:00This is so great Terri, I love the way you blended...This is so great Terri, I love the way you blended the blues in and the red beak.

The zig-zaggy free motion quilting looks perfect to define those head feathers, too!
