Our friendly female blackbird. She's not friendly to any other birds that dare to land. She's been in and around our garden for years. Lovely that she's so recognisable. (Blurry photo taken with my phone.)

Painting a double happy face portrait. These two are making me smile as I paint. Work in progress. Oil on stretched canvas. #rottweiler #tongueouttuesday

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 😊
