Hi Deborah
I've been holding off posting on this thread while I considered a meaningful response. I am so pleased you are resuming your painting in earnest. What I like about this work is the sense of movement, the sense, say, that a perched bird is just about, but not quite, to take off. It's alive. Or it's seconds away from doing something else. Your ring ouzel is a case in point. Or like your heron, patiently waiting but can spring into action in a flash. They and your work are alive. Much wildlife art is static and lifeless (and I am not referring to anyone specifically on this forum). You get the shape and the structure too...you get the jizz!
So don't stop, keep at it, and I do think the immediacy of watercolour suits your style.
