Wrens would have to be my very favourite birds. We still have plenty of them around and their distinct chirping is frequently heard all around the place. This is a trio of Superb Wrens with the male being the brighter, colourful one with the blue, and as you can see, one of the males is happier than the other!

Below is the image I posted last night in poor light. Next time I will wait for daylight. Sorry about that!
I love the softness of the feathers and the lovely colors.

Our wrens are all just brown. Yours are so colorful! But what i really love is the expressive way you painted them. I expect the male on the left to jump over at any moment and tell the one the right to ‘bug off’ and ‘leave us alone’

Thanks, Donna! I try to get that in the painting, i feel if the character is there, it will make up for anything else. 🙂

Thank you! I’m always trying different things. 17 years ago all my paintings of birds were on black, so I’ve kind of gone opposite now. In this painting the background is the white of the paper, but the lighting didn’t make the background look too good. 🙂
