My inspiration was a photo that a kind someone on Twitter gave me. She takes beautiful wildlife photos and is very generous to share them with me.

I was drawn to the dramatic lighting in this photo and I think that makes a painting more interesting. best This would make a great gift for the bird lover in your life!
