It has been interesting finding different subjects for the days I am able to do a small painting for this blog. I liked the personalities these little people seem to have. They seemed to be conversing with each other!

We had family visiting today. Emma, my niece, made a lovely subject for me. She was concentrating hard on her own art work, I was drawing her drawing!

We have a very tame male pheasant who comes to visit our garden and posed for this sketch with the reward of sunflower seeds. His striking colours being a challenge to capture.

The sun was hitting the top of the fields and that was what caught my attention. As I was painting in the shadow I had very cold fingers, it was not just the fields that were frozen.
