I finished my pileated woodpecker. Already sold, he is destined to be somebody's Christmas gift. I'm pretty much loving him. Textures, colors, background, tree - all of it.
Only twice in my life have I been blessed in seeing these beauties. They are larger than life, at about 18"! You KNOW when you see them! And if you ever see a three foot long hole in a tree with a veritable pyramid of shavings down below, that's definitely this woodpecker!
Here he is. I did him in pen, watercolor and acrylic on heavy deckled-edge watercolor paper. Currently I'm taking Christmas orders for $90.00 each. You pick your bird.
I downloaded two photos - the bottom one shows the deckled edge.
What a handsome fellow he is!
