I had fun painting this little guy. I took the reference photo for this one down by the one of the man-made lakes in my area - I have seen three species of Fairy wrens there - Superb Fairy Wren, Red Back Fairy Wren and this one the Variegated Fairy Wren.
I love how this one is perched on the branch—like he’s about to burst into song.
I actually painted this one last year but forgot to blog or list it—whoops!
Most of my time lately has been going into building my Surface Pattern design business and uploading new patterns to my Spoonflower shop. It has been full-on, but I have started to miss painting my birds. So going forward, I am planning to schedule in at least one painting session a month.

I love the colours of this one's feathers. I still have only ever managed to see a glimpse of this one. Hopefully one day I will spot it and it will sit still long enough for me to get a good look at it.

Thinking of trying out a mixed media project next.
