Well, this began life as a perfectly good photograph, but you know what it's like - you start to tinker...

Oh, and the frame, I'm sorry, I just got carried away! Is that the padded van I hear?

Some creative painting here, Clive -- this is like the hawk that really wanted to be a parrot -- reminds me for some reason of Van Gogh.

No padded van needed -- doing stuff like this probably saves some of us (like me) from the funny farm!

Hi Clive
Works for me, reminds me of a mixed watercolour.
A real cracking image

Thanks for all your kind comments. I really wasn't sure if this worked or not!

The blue beak must have come from a ruddy duck.
