Watercolour and pen on Paper. Pat belonged to friends of mine from France who named her after her mother!

Some special effects here added to the original painting of Appalachian Strawberry Finch.

Strawberry Finch in the Rain

More colour changes

Stylised Strawberry Finch

Slightly more orange hues to contrast with the blues from the original Penguin Pool.

Eight Penguins

A grainier version with greys and greens

Seven Dwarfed Penguins

The golden background gives this Finch a more limited colour palette

Golden Strawberry Finch

From the original Hummingbird. What do you think?

Extremely colourful Hummingbird.

I rather like this effect - I reckon the Kingfisher appreciates the addition of the fish!

Pixelated Kingfisher with Goldfish

This is the preferred colour chosen by some of the friends I asked.

Purple Flamingos

This particular version has been manipulated to make it stand out. You decide -beauty is in the eye of the beholder so the saying goes.

The Swan Song

From a photograph taken in Edinburgh Zoo. It took me months to get the water looking like this.

The Penguin Pool

A lonely image of a swan in the loch near my house. Apparently someone killed it's mate with a catapult -they mate for life.

The Swan

I prefer this version but the favourite was the purple interpretation.
