Description Second painting for a friend's cafe. It's up next to its sibling now :3

Dacelo novaeguineae- The largest member of the kingfisher family and best known for its iconic laughing call, mocking humanity from on high. If you want to summon one of these birds, throw a barbecue. They love barbecue.

This one was a jerk to photograph. All of them require experimenting with lighting conditions and a little tweaking for the screen, but then there are those paintings that have this stupid glare on them no matter what I do. DX It's as clean as I can get it with Photoshop

The colors are indeed vibrant, and really contrast the birbs. The blue is very rich and soothing, like great-Skua said. But the details really pop, and the eye is trained to the subject piece, the birds. Good luck with getting it sold. I wanna say I could see this in a doctors office or someplace similar, where it would help people to relax or reflect gently. But really, it could go anywhere.

Thank you very much!! I'm really glad to hear the elements work out together. And it's a nice thought that it could help people relax in a doctor's office. But of course, would be awesome to see it go to any home.

This looks really nice I like the lighting it's very soothing and the birds have quite a bit of emotion I wonder what they are thinking
