It has been a while since I've painted a loon and I was truely captured by a photograph posted by Alan and Elaine Wilson over at
Nature's Pics Online that I just had to give it a go. My background turned out a little more purple than I imagined, but I think I'll work on the loon for a while to see if the purple grows on me. Otherwise, I'll add a few washes of blue to tone it down a little.
