I began to paint in March ‘20. Through trial and error and being a harsh self-critic, I’ve developed my skills. I paint for me! Painting is my release - I work quickly and instinctively, loving what colour can do and the freedom I feel as I push paint around the paper. 🎨

It’s a double header this morning with a small oil pastel doodle adding to my earlier Nuthatch scribble. On to write reports now!

I found I had a spare hour and reached for the oil pastels! This is probably one I’ll return to …

Another 30 mins this morning to avoid over working. I seem to have made an unplanned nod to last night’s lights!

Oil pastels are so forgiving - look at this Robin rescue as I listened to the match this aft!

I often overwork Robins so I set myself a half an hour timer!

Back to the oil pastels this morning to capture the Robin - one of a pair eating my grass seed, which is clearly far more tasty than all the juicy berries and insects out there! 🤷‍♀️

There was one, all on its own! I have always found poppies tricky to paint! It’s the contrast between their fragility and their bold colour. Feeling reasonably happy with this!

This morning I decided that in order to maximise the chill factor, I would light a candle as I paint. Big mistake! I set fire to my painting rag and now the room smells of smoke. 💨 🫣 😃 Thanks to @CarlBovisNature for the 📷of the probably jeuvenile Magpie!
