This little beauty is one of my favourite birds. I do find it tricky to get the breast colour right and have used permanent rose with cad yellow, with occasionally cad orange. They can be so very tame and I have seen photograph of them feeding from the hand. I have one that will come within 3 feet of my in our garden, due to my ritual of feeding them every day!

Really good and so lifelike Andrea.

Lovely painting and you have captured their expression.

Thnaks everyone ;-)
