This is part of a painting I did about this time last year. Just remember that every day is a special day if you spend it with those you are special to you.

Here is a little detail on the bottom left corner of my current painting, it features spring flowers, a swan, a heron , a robin, a thrush , my favourite Blackbird and a little white dog, the whole painting is much bigger than this, but we can find so much to love in the littleContinue reading “A Little Detail”
