Thank you! This was fun to watch. I agree with others who said this was a very clear tutorial to follow along. Beautiful bird!

[@LouDavis]

Glad you enjoyed it!

This is si odd. Just been painting your silver birches, and was thinking I need to do a puffin picture for a card. Then you posted this!

[@LouDavis]

What great timing!

[@LindaKing-nq6ut]

Delightful fellow….there is something so amusing about these birds…I actually saw some when visiting Iceland….not a common bird here🇨🇦but possibly in the Artic areas

[@LouDavis]

They’re smaller than I imagined them to be, quite a few in our area but only out on islands at sea so you have to take boat trips out to see them.

@@LouDavis if a remember correctly the people in Iceland eat Puffin meat…not my cup of tea that’s for sure
