Here's my latest painting. Woodpigeons aren't a subject I'd usually find inspiring, but I happened to look out of the studio window to see these two in a nearby cherry tree. The light was filtering through the branches and I just loved the mix of colour and shadows. I've tried to keep a loose feel to it but someone has already made the "it looks just like a photograph" comment.
I've posted a step-by-step guide on my blog for anyone who wants to see how it evolved.
Only just seen the wood pigeons and no, they are decidedly NOT "just like a photograph"! They are much better.
Apologies for replying to something you posted over a month ago.
