One of my most beloved watercolour paintings of 2023. It pictures a great titbird my partner's son and I found in the grass on our way home 🍃🍂

Last year I painted 5 butterflies, a toad and 8 flowersketches.
I made 6 linoprints including the multy colour Patronus Print (Blue Tit).

A few days ago I shared this picture of the result so far with my client and got a possitive response 😊
So on painting the butterfly 🦋🖌

Last month I found a small part of a wasp's nest. Just a very thin papery 'skin'. Very delicate and beautiful 🐝
