Original pastel (A2 approximately)
(wallpaper download 1280 by 960 pixels)


For those that are not from Africa - or do not know, this rather grey, colourless little bird (apart from the beak) performs an important function in the hygiene of wild animals such as the buffalo.They are also great for that good old scratch in those rather hard to reach places.
The bird is called an Oxpecker.
Similar occurrences may be observed in the human species. Garbage that is not taken out for instance, may become a real itch.

Awesome!
Even though not many people here in dA share the same love for wildlife that we do. I always get less comment on any wildlife painting than what I get with my landscapes. :(
