Flax Tuis

Flax Tuis

I have been experimenting with this style for a while and thought it was time to give some Tui birds a go. These 2 charming birds are perched happily on a flax bush, a popular choice of food for them. The style is dreamy and multilayered and captures all of their iridescent colouring.
