Paint Party Friday - Toucan

This is a Toucan for Paint Party Friday. It's done on good quality textured cardstock (6" x 6") in acrylic. I was inspired by a post Adam did on Toucans the other day.

Beautiful, colorful bird!

Looks even better than the toucan one I had. That one was drawn in the 19th century, so it's in the public domain.

What fun colourful artwork Christine. He looks a happy chappy.
I also painted a silk painting of a Toucan but that was a few years ago now.
Enjoy PPF
