realism artwork

this is a sample of my work, I work in realism with an artistic flair, my subjects are usually birds, where I want to show the intricate details of my subject but for them to be a piece of art not a reproduction of a photograph, it is extremely important to me that the viewer is able to get a connection with the piece that is been viewed. I also like doing marine and reptiles for the same reason, the play of colours and textures that nature uses are truly awe inspiring
