Original Painting titled Catching a Lift SOLD

It is difficult to fly in the rain. Your feathers gets soggy, then your wings are heavier and harder to flap, so this little bird has decided to catch a lift on this passing-by wombat. While being in this elevated position, it plucked a blooming flower to get a little shelter from the spring showers and dry out its wings. I titled my painting "Catching a Lift"© Pink robins are gorgeous little robins, which I have been lucky enough to view in the wild. https://birdlife.org.au/bird-profiles/pink-robin/?srsltid=AfmBOoqzpdOGDGvXwTRctjlpiG-BDuUDeblLK0C9e_eFkbm47FjLaugj And wombats, who could not love wombats! I have also had the great privelege of enjoying seeing them in the wild too. I actually have had the company of one for about an hour, while I was drawing outside. It munched on grass about a metre and a half from me the entire time I was sitting on my stool drawing. I thanked it several times aloud for keeping me company. It just ignored me and munched away. I drew my picture freehand, as I do all of my artwork, and painted this cheery scene on Clairefontaine 300gsm cold pressed watercolour paper. It is approximately 15 x 21 cm.
