With thoughts turning towards Christmas, I thought I would tackle a painting of a robin.
I wanted the background to be an evergreen Christmassy green but halfway through, I was wishing I'd left it a snowy, plain white. Now that it's finished and cropped I don't mind the background.
I am rather pleased with the robin though. I think I subconsciously made his tummy a little bit bigger than the robin on the photo but he looks okay.
Here are the progress photos. Slightly different colours as the weather was sunny/rainy/sunny so different light for each photo!
I am going to make this available as greetings cards and prints.
Hope you like him!
Gillian
