Has a lovely charm to it Tessa. And well done. During lock down which thank god seems like ages ago now. I managed to paint for 100 days. Finding a subject not always so easy.

I like these birds Tessa, also the colours and shapes in the foreground.

Many thanks Fiona, Diane and Sandra. Fiona, I admit I did check the look in a bird book, as they are not as close as they might be, but they appear most days.
