Beautiful colour harmony throughout Carole, such a gorgeous bird, irresistible to paint.

Super rendering with watercolour pencils, Carole. He's beautiful....I have never had a Waxwing in my garden, but lots of finches, which he resembles. Is he a regular visitor?

I remember seeing a large flock (museum) of Waxwings in Tesco's car park in Ullapool. They were feeding on the Rowan berries, I wouldn't have noticed them but they make the most beautiful noise, which I had never heard before. If you get the chance to listen to a recording, have a listen.

Very beautiful Carole, as usual for you.

We had some on a bush in our garden last year. They ate all the berries and vanished. I felt quite honoured. This is a lovely painting Carole, so well balanced.

Thanks ever so much all for your kind encouraging comments they keep me going! Thanks Fiona I will have a look on internet for a recording. My one holiday in Scotland was in Ullapool, we stayed in an old schoolhouse by Loch Broom :)

I had a flock of these eating our rowan berries a few years back but haven't seen any since. Beautiful birds expertly painted in this gorgeous watercolor.
