Ah thanks. Really kind of you 😊

Brilliant photo. Such detail. Would it be possible to use your photo as a reference for a painting for my sister? Understand if this isn't possible.

Young fox, so far. Acrylic on board. Still a way to go. Do I switch to oils for a softness?

Thank you. They are such wonderful little birds. I need to paint them again!

Very kind of you. Thank you. Will of course, credit your photograph 😊

This is stunning. I love the light. Would it be possible to make a painting using your photo as reference? I have spring exhibition coming up and would love to paint more birds.
