C'est pas ma faute, je suis anglais.
I'm glad that people are happy with the 'remixes' of the last two paintings, it was quite nervewracking doing them, as they were pictures that I liked. But now I like them a lot more.
After staying up painting and drinking till 2am, I was surprised that I managed to wake up at 7am. No hangover too! :brains:
I went for a walk up the hill on the edge of town, next to the river, reasonable woodland, a hill top fort and a dry scrubby grassland area. Here are the highlights from the sketchbook: (paint added at home - painting not practical when there's nowhere to sit)
A Middle Spotted Woodpecker and a Robin (all my robins at the moment suffer from pinhead syndrome, can't get them right try as I might)
A Red Squirrel, I took the opportunity to have a good look at this individual, as all previous attempts to draw mammals have ended up looking like fraggles.
A firecrest, oh how I love them, even if they won't keep still.
A little grebe and a kingfisher. These are two different sketches, not a composition involving the two. The grebe will be worked up into a larger painting.
