chaffinch miniature watercolour painting

Chaffinch © Tracy Hall 2010 (shown enlarged)
1.75" x 2.25" watercolour on board

Over the past few days we have enjoyed watching a group of chaffinches who have joined the regulars at the feeding station in the garden. It has become so cold there is ice floating on the shore below the house so they really do need all the help they can get right now.

It is four years since I started this blog and I'd like to thank all of you who take the time to stop by and post comments or send emails. I don't always manage to reply but I really do appreciate every one. Although I did start a page on Facebook this year, I am not very good at it and blogs remain my favourite. I marvel slightly at those who manage to do it all and still find time to paint! I know I can't.

I haven't been able to post much of my illustration work this year as now I mostly have to wait until after its been released before I can show it, for which I apologise, but here are some of the latest puzzles that have come out - I only wish they all sent samples as its always great fun to see them.

Wishing you a peaceful Christmas and all the very best for 2011.
