Eastern bluebird

*click on the image to see it larger*

This weekend I finished a commission for an original watercolour painting of an eastern bluebird. I decided to try a square format for this one and I like how it turned out. As before, I use sepia pen & ink first before painting.

The original painting will be a gift for a 1-year old, which I think is a really lovely idea.

  6. Hi Claire, Jamie sent me here to have a look. I am her next-door neighbour and she thought I might be interested because I am an illustrator, a knitter and I also live in a bungalow. Next time you're at Jamie's place, get her to bring you over to say hello.

  8. This is so lovely Claire. And I'm really geeked about all the home projects you've been posting. Being a fairy new first-time homeowner myself, and living in a fixer upper, I love to see these sort of things! SO much fun! Your living room looks great!
