Lovely Arthur. As Nick rightly points out, the looseness of the background adds another dimension to this delightful little painting.

Thankyou all.

Wet and dismal here. Having a cuppa this morning when these popped into veiw out of the stream.Their nesting burrows are about half a mile away and about the same again to the sea / marsh. Another tick for in the garden.

Terrific visitors to the garden Arthur - and what a superb job you've made of the encounter. More than a few of these are just a bit special!
 
Awww, those are just adorable! Loved the scetches of them as well, and the wren painting was another one that really made me smile. :) :)
 
Some 'garden'... Have the RSPB shown any interest in purchasing your reserve Arthur?

Great shelducklings, and Tim's suggestion of 'a slice of burnt sienna' sounds good. There's a creche of up to about twenty shelducklings on one of the scrapes at elmley at the moment. They spend a lot of their time avoiding the avocets, which seem to hate them for some reason!

That second little wren's a corker too, I love that pose, and the bee is a lovely touch. The combination of garden flowers with familiar, (and cute), garden birds makes a very commercial mix so cards would be a good bet...

I'm especially totally in love with that little fellow at the bottom right corner. Awww... Always wanted to see a baby shelduck. Maybe I'll be lucky this year, there's a pair hanging around near by...

I put the photo in for you Mike.Taken about 0345 hrs.another tick for in the garden.
