    Thank you very much. They are Puffins, a type of sea bird with colorful beaks. They are not very good flyers but are super at diving in the sea to fish.

A beautiful drawing. I like the cliff setting and the great eyes in the puffins. The composition is excellent and the colors are outstanding. Best of luck in the contest.

Puffins are quite interesting little creatures. I love watching them when I do boat tours. Your work is quite pretty and nice to look at. Good detail and I love your sky. Best of luck.

I think Puffins are such lovely birds, and you have painted these ones so well. I like that they are seen from different perspective and that one is even in flight.

I like very much the textured sky and cliffs, and you have also paid a good attention to details. I also like very much the color pallet you have used.

The format and the framing works well and I think all the birds have got a good placement on the canvas. I think this is a lovely and well done painting, and I wish you luck with the contest.

Lovely pastel painting of the beautiful Puffins in their natural habitat I like the natural colours you used for this and the different poses of the birds. I also like how you showed the texture of the rocky cliff and the sky. Very nice pastel painting and ideal for the contest. Good luck! Suzanne

Having seen puffins in person, I know that this painting is a stylish likeness of the bird. I like the wings on the landing bird are painted. The colors of the painting bring out the black and white of the puffin's body. Very well done.

A beautiful picture of the Puffins on the cliff top one in flight it's feet extended as it is about to land. Created with very skilful brushwork beautiful choice blending & application of your colours in bringing this scene to life. Good luck in the contest.

Oh how gorgeous! Love this. The birds are active and I can see movement. Presented well from that corner to the top. You had to know this! Well done for that part. They are cute. Just a happy piece. Thanks again!
