The Mating Game 5

They gave each other a smile with a future in it.

Well, this is coming along slowly. I've gotten a bit of the shading done on the lower feathers and more detail put in the faces. This white on white is quite a challenge! Since this is a combination of two different photographs this weeks job is to get the water to make sense. I'm going to work on not only the color but the movement. Also its time to start getting some reflection at least indicated. Because of the story within this painting I think its necessary to have patience in getting just the right amount of action on the canvas.
