My grandfather loved these little birds. I'm not sure what they're called. They're small, brown and white, and tend to be a little round. I think they might be sparrows, but I'm not sure. Anyway, here's a little sketch of one of them, I was thinking about my grandfather and looking at some photographs of them that I took for him. The quality of the photograph isn't good enough to use as reference for a painting, those little birds are difficult to photograph, but it was just fine for a sketch...
I've progressed a bit with my mermaid sketch, it's on canvas with a bit of paint a post down. I also finished my oaks painting that I shared the sketch of, it's a few posts down.
