Wake up call! by Jenny Hopkins

I thought this was a Jean Haine's inspired painting - it leapt off the screen at me. However, I actually like this better than some of Jean Haines work (is that blasphemy?!) because the colours you have got into the tail feathers are more clearly defined that she might have done and I prefer that. The whole painting is wonderful.

Sparkling and lively - I love it

Just gorgeous Jenny, love your style.

It certainly did! Just lovely.

Lovely loose style, brilliant colours.

You are all doing my morale the world of good - thank you!
