2016 Kingfisher series
Have you ever seen a Kingfisher? I've only seen one once, so when I was recently commissioned to paint one I turned to the artist meets photographers facebook page 'Photos for Artists' to find a decent reference photo. I was not disappointed - the talented Peter Skillen had several to choose from. And therein my Kingfisher series was born. How could I choose from all those fabulous photos?

I wasn't quite finished...this one is an ACEO and measures just 2.5 x 3.5 inches
You guessed it - I still wasn't finished with these beautiful birds. The Kingfishers on both of these paintings are just 15mm high...
