Oh Val, sorry to hear of your mishap, hope you recover quickly. A great opportunity as you say, to get the pencils out and delight us with paintings like this!

A super study of a lovely bird - really well drawn Shirley. I do hope you have no lasting damage from your fall. I fell and broke my right wrist back in June - tried very hard to draw with my left! Didn't post any of them needless to say!!

Taking it easy after a silly fall in the garden so out come the coloured pencils again. Thought I'd add to my growing series of birds. Thanks for taking a peek.
