This beautiful nesting cormorant flew into my postbox recently. Desiree Habicht managed to capture the bird at an wild animal park sketching from life. This beautiful watercolor study arrived in perfect condition. Thank you Desiree for this wonderful addition to my small, but growing collection of artist postcards..

This is really beautiful.
Plus I so admire the nerve of Desiree to do black against black - but she's well and truly demonstrated how well she paints in watercolour!
wow! great study and from life, I'm full of admiration
Amazingly alive, intense black -- what a splendid painting!
What a wonderful variety of postcards we're seeing. Desiree uses watercolour with real skill.I love this image.
This is stunning Desiee...I agree with Katherine...what audacity to use dark against dark and what mastery!!

Congratulations, Desiree, a stunningly beautiful postcard. You can count me among your devoted watercolour fans. I'm so impressed that you achieve this from life as well.
Beautifully observed and painted, Desiree - it makes an unusual and dramatic postcard!
stunning! I also love the dramatic darks!!
When i saw this i thought wow! Those darks are just glorious. This is one of the best cards yet!
Thank you all for your nice comments, I used our favorite green Perylene green for most of the darks, mixing on paper, I found a new color called shadow green I will try next. I have to admit, painting something that is sitting still is easier.
