My Turtledove


This is my entry for January's Nibblefest Art Contest. The theme was combine two animals or more. I wanted something happy to look at but I am not a surrealist which I sort of think this is, so i struggled a bit trying to determine how to execute it. And the result is a multi-layered watercolor which is kind of interesting to look at, eh?

    I think he's cute! Reminds me of a Platypus! Does he/she lay eggs?

    Thanks Lore, Lanie and Mark :) I didnt' want him to be scary because I think doves are sweet. Yes, I think it lays eggs but hidden in dirst covered with feathers because they are extra delicate. Mark it's cuuuuuuute! Thanks dahling ;)
