Twilight Cove in acrylics

I really enjoyed painting this one. Lately I have been playing around with creating a digital painting eg to paint a seascape and then see what I can come up with. If I like what I painted digital, then use that as a reference point to paint the physical painting.  Rather pleased with how this one turned out.

Flame Robin No 7 In acrylics

I enjoyed painting this one.  Red feathers are always a bit of a challenge to paint as you can't really use white to create the light feathers as you would end up with pink feathers.  So, to lighten the feathers I usually build the feathers up with white and then glaze over them with yellow and red paint which seems to work rather well.

Flame Robin No 7 measure 5 x 7 inches and is painted on Colourfix Smooth paper.
