I'd love to watch you paint - it would be an education. This is a very beautiful and lively painting, from the glint in the bird's eye, to that splashy green and yellow background which so well indicates foliage, to the tree stump which you've painted so convincingly. A great little bird.

Beautiful!

Thanks for compliment Robert Jones Sir ... Thanks Margaret Beynon maam ...

There is areal delicacy to this your colours are lovely.

Thanks Res. Lesley Peters...
