Singing into 2016

My first painting of 2016... As I was outside, I saw this Hooded Sinskin (Cardeulis magellanica) and decided to paint it!!
Still not very happy with the painting... suggestions welcome!!

Comment by Dorian Aronson on January 11, 2016 at 21:23: Be happy. At first I thought it was a photograph of something you intended to paint! Smiles :-)

Comment by Jessica Futerman on January 11, 2016 at 6:48: Wow, Silvana - this is wonderful! The bird is gorgeous & the colours on the tree trunk are so well chosen, great texture too! Just wondering about the bird's feet - maybe a bit more indication of one of them would be good? I think maybe it's hidden behind the leaf, but not sure? Beautifully painted!!!
