Jack

My subject Jack is inspired by Malachite Kingfisher who usually habitat in African rivers lakes & streams canals & fen drains. Malachite a common kingfisher of African species, live on flies, water invertebrates & small fish. & can move as per weather conditions. Ones attention goes straight to its bright plumage of metallic blue & deep violet on its upper part & is crested with feathers marked in dots of sky blue & black while the below plumage has a contrast of Yellow Ocher /to blend with Naples yellow & burnt Umber, They are marked with patches of white below their beak & extended cheeks & rear neck sides. Beak & claws are done in fluorescent red / orange.
