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.

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.

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.

I took a number of photo's of Sparrows during a trip to Paris. Sadly I never see Sparrows in my own garden anymore. I used watercolour paints and watercolour pencils to develop what I hope is a realistic picture.

About the Artist
Julie Curry

I have always been drawn to nature. I choose things to paint that lift my spirits and have always been irresistibly drawn to flowers and wildlife that finds it way into my garden. In recent years watercolour has become my favourite medium, but I also enjoy using pen and ink, especially when working…
