OK, I have to put some more effort into pieces for the show, which usually means more complex and less decorative designs – things which you have to look at for some time to be able to "see", rather than designs which you can appreciate quickly. This is a scene which I picked up from our garden, where a wind was blowing a willow sideways and a flock of sparrows was trying to hang in there in spite of the wind. I know that sparrows are often thought of as common birds but I love them – when we lived in London they were about the only kind of wildlife that visited our house, and I still appreciate their noisy company in the garden
Sparrows in the willows
But to be honest I'm not sure about it. It's a nice enough image, and one with birds that I like, but it's not what you could call madly exciting. Still I think it will show up well at the exhibition, and I'll be interested to see what sort of comments it gets
It is an exciting piece. It looks exactly like the birds around the edge of my yard in the bushes. I look forward to hearing comments from others.
I have a few sparrows in my garden at the moment, I am watching them flit in and out amongst the plants after bugs in our cold windy weather today. They are delightful little birds, ours are mostly dull browns but very intriguing to watch. Yours have a bit more colour to them and I am sure just as inquisitive and active. You have done a great job capturing their personality. WELL DONE. There is sure to be some great comments on your images.
I know almost nothing about birds, but I can picture my beloved mammals in that wind. Most of the ones I know would definitely have their noses pointed into that strong wind instead of away. That probably indicates the difference between a life lived by the nose instead of by the wing.

I think your design is beautiful, and it represents a lovely windy day with birds in various positions of either being stationary or in flight on a bright spring, summer or fall day.
I really like it. You can feel the wind blowing. Sparrows are so nice to watch
Wha’s not to like about sparrows? I think this piece is fabulous! 😄
I like the movement. It gives a freeing and real feeling. I like and and now have it in my memory! Thanks for showing us.
