Birthday bullfinch

I painted this one for a friend's birthday card. I'm lucky enough to have a group of these birds as regular garden visitors at the moment, helping themselves to the berries on the shrubs and trees.

Watercolour, 5" by 7"

  2. Thanks Pat, these birds are really beautiful (especially the pink-breasted males!) They are lovely to paint too - there's not too much feather detail to worry about, just blocks of beautiful colour :-)
