Super painting - I suppose it's a drawing rather than a painting really, but in fact it seems to me that you paint with pencils as much as you do with the brush: you have a freedom of line and energy that one would normally associate with a watercolour.

Superb, Pratim! Thrushes always seem to me to have a positive attitude to life, bold, challenging, confident. All this you have shown here.

Thanks a lot for the appreciation and kind words Robert Jones Sir... Thanks a lot Ruth Dolan Maam ...
