Default Black Palm Cockatoo
My latest Colored Pencil work- This one is about 5" x 11"-



It was done from a reference photo I took at the Lowry Park zoo, in Tampa. I made up the background, though...

Totally awesome
- love the way you worked the background to show off the bird. The 2 opposite sweeps of yellow Ocher is very subtle but effective - adds energy. I agree the red flowers really work with the bird's red. The yellow flower is a nice touch as well.

Thanks so much for sharing.

Your pieces leave me speechless!

Excuse me if this has been asked before, but do you sell them?
