Before Christmas I was walking in our local park and saw a scene I really wanted to paint - rooks in a silver birch tree against a cloudy winter sky. So I took a reference photo and this is the end result, painted in watercolour on paper.
I improvised the smaller branches (there were far too many on the actual trees, it would have looked messy) and arranged the rooks in a better formation with the addition of a few flying ones. I'm happy with it, it made a change from my usual subjects.
This will be on sale in my Etsy shop soon - bit busy at the moment tending to my daughter who has a stinking cold...whcic I think I have caught as well!
