True art in the hands and heart A beautiful plate. Better in natural. I ordered it as a gift for a bird lover. By mistake they sent me another one and Mr. Sosa was kind enough to give me the wrong one and sent me the one I asked for, so I was able to give a great gift. They are both beautiful. Thank you for your generosity. The person who received them is a follower of your paintings and it made him very happy. Thank you very much.
European Turtle Dove I have this painting, and others, a marvel, I have the house with several paintings of Manuel, thrush, woodcock, quail, if the house would be bigger I would have more, thanks Manuel for making these paintings more accessible.
I was able to personalise the prints Thank you very much for your help, very professional and approachable. All the best!

Jacinto Olivares -
What a delightful painting, maestro! You have chosen to portray a mythical bird of our wetlands in one of its most spectacular and elusive poses: courtship or the nuptial display. It is a painting that demonstrates a knowledge of field biology that only a painter-naturalist of your caliber can possess.
The incredible clarity and freshness of the composition are striking. You masterfully break away from backgrounds laden with palustrine vegetation to focus all attention on the bird against an immaculate white background, which lends it an almost Japanese elegance or that of a high-level classical scientific illustration. The Common Snipe is superb: with its very long bill pointing towards the water, its body tilted forward, and that impressive tail fanned upwards, displaying its intricate feather pattern.
The detailing of the cryptic plumage, with those characteristic longitudinal bands on the head and back rendered with millimeter-precise brushstrokes, is a painterly spectacle. And the masterful touch that balances and brings the scene to life is that small clear water refuge from which beautiful white wetland flowers (aquatic buttercups) emerge, whose corollas and green stems provide a note of freshness, humidity, and sublime color. It is a painting that breathes the pristine silence of a pond at dawn.
