Bank Vole

Absolutely lovely.

You have a winner here Paul. Very appealing. Your hard work has paid off.

Brilliant, feel like plucking those blackberries but wouldn't deny that vole his lunch :)

A beautiful painting Paul, you always add that special something in your portraits.....gorgeous.

Thank you Shirley, Kal, Carole and Fiona for your lovely comments. This was such a lovely pose I just had to paint it. A big thanks to the photographer Phil Winter for allowing me to use his photos. :-)

This is amazing - almost 3D - a wonderful painting.

Fabulous painting Paul, though background may be a tad strong.

Thank you Thea and Frank. Yes Frank my partner said the same thing as well, at least it's colourful! LOL :-)

Beautifully painted Paul. There is a kind of 3D effect to it. I could eat those blackberries they look so real, but that vole would beat me to it.

How did I miss this one Paul??? I do have a tablet which has a tiny screen. That is my excuse. I am on a proper computer now. This is exquisite.

ps re backgound. It sums up the season!

Thank you Nerys B and Gudrun, I know the issue with a tiny screen, I try to look on here via my mobile phone and give up after a few minutes! LOL
