I painted this loving pair from a photo with kind permission from the photographer, Ernesto Orellana. I now have another commission to paint two wood pigeons in different pose. If any of the brilliant photographers I follow have a photo of a Woody I could use, ideally two, I'd really appreciate it 😊
