Scarlet Robin ACEO in acrylics

I took a break from painting bird ACEO's for a few months but decided to paint a few at the end of December to see if I wanted to get back into painting them each week. The short answer is probably not  - I will probably just paint a few every now and again but not regular.  I do have a lot of off cuts of  paper which are the perfect size for ACEO's so I might play around with painting more ACEO landscapes.
