Really nice Carole, as Dennis suggests very 'fresh'.

This has a really lovely and spontaneous feel to it Carole. They are lovely little birds, and spend a lot of time on my sunflower heart feeders. And I spend a lot of money on bird food!!

It's more than a scribble Carole.....it's smashing!

You are all very kind, thank you.

Gorgeous little birds - you can't believe the intensity of their colour when the winter sunlight hits them (if we ever get any..). <br /><br />This sketch captures their character,
