Tales of the Riverbank.

A very simple tag this week.  I used a page from my daughters old school dictionary and tried to draw a kingfisher, (I would love to see one of these birds in the flesh) coloured in with my Inktense pencil and water.  All embellishments from my stash.  IF, I had had another old dictionary, I might have had another attempt at drawing the bird again, I need to do more drawing practice.

  5. Your Kingfisher is superb. No need for you to go back to the drawing board. I have seen one on the Thames at Pangbourne. To watch them dive into the water after fish is pure magic. Hugs Mrs A.

  6. He is a real handsome chap. I think he is a distant cousin of the Doodly Birds haha

  11. Beautiful tag. Those Inktense pencils are so vibrant. Love your kingfisher. We had one here dive bombing my large goldfish pond. Not nice.

  12. The kingfisher is really well drawn. His vibrant colors are gorgeous. He looks quite intense and must be focused on a dive...soon!

  16. He's such a handsome fella and certainly doesn't need to be drawn again - he's perfect as he is! That is one gorgeous tag! I've seen a few Kingfishers but usually just a flash of bright blue and orange and then they're gone - I'd love to see one sitting on a branch or fishing (but unfortunately I'm not really quiet enough when we are out walking!).

  17. Fabulous artwork Sharne. The Kingfisher is a beautiful bird and you have done him justice. I love this look of images on top of the printed word. x
