I had painted these little birds a year or two ago.
For this Spring I have resized them so that they sit harmoniously together as a whimsical set of 4.
We have a cheeky Robin, a tiny Wren, a debonair Blue Tit and a cagey Kingfisher.
All well-loved British birds.

There are so many beautiful birds. My top four of the top of my head are:
Penguins – have loved them since a child and the March of the Penguins endeared the to me forever
Blue Footed Booby – I have been fascinated by the Galapagos for many years & these guys are just so improbably adorable that you have to love them.
Owls – especially the tiny Saw Whet Owl – They look so surprised and cuddly.
Ring Necked Pheasant – I grew up in Manitoba and I thought these birds were the most exotic thing when I was young and didn’t even know the meaning of exotic.
