Save our Sparrows by Julie Curry

Beautifully painted Julie. They look great - such lovely little birds. I am lucky enough to see them quite often here in Edinburgh - though again not as many as I used to see.

A beautiful pair of sparrows Julie and you've succeeded in your goal of producing a very realistic painting of these little birds. Like Margaret I'm in central Scotland and get quite a few sparrows visiting my garden.

Gorgeous work Julie!!!

This is so charming Julie and very realistic. I’ve had my very own sparrow for nearly eight years now, one I rescued to release but it turned out that she can’t fly. I say that she’s mine but it’s the other way around really, she has me well trained to answer her every whim?..lol I must be lucky with wild sparrows too, I live in the south west of Scotland and have many sparrows in the garden all year round, I live very rural, don’t know if that make a difference. A beautiful painting!

Brilliant picture Julie.

This is absolutely wonderful Julie, such stunning detail on the feathers. A brilliant example of a skilful watercolour.

Stunning

You have captured the characteristics of sparrows so well!

Wow, I feel quite overwhelmed by your wonderful comments. I'm also very pleased to hear that our Sparrows appear to be thriving in Scotland. Just a pity you can't send a few down south! Thanks again for your very encouraging comments.
