Greenfinch. Acrylic on board 20 x 20 cm. Still playing with dark grounds. One of my favourite colours ‘Prussian Blue’ A birthday card from a dear friend as I inch closer to 60 says that her synesthetic friend says ‘the 60’s are a beautiful deep blue’ #greenfinchesofinstagram #acrylicpainting #drawing

Two Bullfinches acrylic on board 20 cm x 20 cm. Saw two male Bullfinches in the oak tree a few days ago. So bright and exotic among our usual brown and grey residents. Surrounded them with some apple tree twigs from a tentative pruning #gardenbirdsuk #bullfinchesofinstagram #acrylicpainting
