Purple Honeycreeper

oil on wood panel, 8" x 8"

This was meant to be a work in progress, but knowing that I won't be able to get back to it for a few days means I may have a totally different idea about it by then.  Or I'll just leave it as is, having done it in one session with the same palette, which helps with the overall harmony.  The purple honeycreeper is native to northern South America, from Colombia to Brazil.  Love his yellow feet  (yes, it is a male)!

Update 9/13/17:  I finally got around to working a wee bit on the background, so it looks more finished now to me.
