Hand painted Painted Bunting

Good morning, the sky is beginning to show signs of a clear and welcome day.  The only need is for rain--things are getting very dry here in this part of Texas.  The deer dear are getting ready to have their fawns and there is not much fresh things for them to eat.
I unloaded the kiln yesterday morning about 6a.m.  The first tile I saw, was the one I did of a painted bunting.  He is such a beautiful bird, and I did not do him justice, but I plan to keep trying.  Like painting a hummingbird, how do you find paint that truly captures the wonderful color that they are.
