Birds of a Feather by RG Pettit

I've been wanting to explore and illustrate the human/animal connection for over a year, and a recent magazine submission nudged me to actually put pencil to paper and brush to canvas. I can't share that one yet, but I hope you enjoy this one, which is second in the series. It is more vibrant than most of my work, but the kingfisher demanded that the human and background be just as colorful.
