Hi Harriet! Well, after much deliberation and thought I tried painting the chaffinch. It was the bird bird I ever painted and basically hand sketched it so it came about 3-4X larger than yours, LOL. Not exactly true to form, so to speak, but for the first time, it’s not too terrible. I had a hard time painting the feathers itty bitty. I tried following instructions in your book :Birds, Bees and Blossoms”, but it was hopeless. Lots of patience and practice for sure. LOL I’ll try to post it so you can view my “work of art”.
