I used my big sister Brenda's garden as inspiration for this painting. She is brilliant at everything she puts her mind too, especially painting & gardening. Me I struggle sometimes, as you can see from my first two paintings of a birdtable which I did a few years ago. I used to pipe the outline on with an icing bag, the first painting was too heavy, the second too simple, but my latest attempt I don't think I can get any better, just like all three of my big sisters.

 

I do like to paint with the seasons but I don't get time to paint on paper in autumn as we are so busy getting ready for Christmas. I originally did this Badger on a jug & I loved it so here's the paper version.

I loved painting Blossom so much I wanted to have another go. Wrens are not a bird I normally paint, when I started I was intending to paint a Sparrow. But as I have already been there, done that, a few years ago, I thought I had better have a change. www.jennybell.co.uk
