Hi everyone, I have a journal page to show you! I must confess that this was meant for Erika's "Spring Birds' theme last month(sorry Erika!) so I was really pleased to see that Neet wouldn't mind seeing birds for her 'It Must have Wings' theme at Art Journal Journey this month.
I love Nuthatches so this Hobby Art stamp set was a must have a few years ago!
The background started as a stencil cleaning page. I stamped the branch (so easy to extend the length) and the blossom (with a little bit of masking) then added my bird. My Daniel Smith paints were perfect for colouring everything and adding some more leafy touches.
Thanks for looking, Chris

One of the most beautiful things to see is a bird on a branch especially whilst in song, what a great stamp that is, looks fab amongst the dappled background. Glad you got chance to share it this month what a great time of year it is.
Happy creative May Hugs Tracey x
Better late than never is what they say, so I'm glad this worked out for you sharing at AJJ Chris. And you can't go wrong with a nuthatch either. I love the background, it feels like some spring bushes coming into bloom. Happy May to you Chris, and thanks for joining Neet's challenge. hugs-Erika
So glad I came in handy Chris. That is a lovely stamp of a nuthatch and how beautifully you have painted him. Love the reverse stencil background - it works so well with the branch and leaves.
Hugs, Neet xx
How did you get that bird to perch so perfectly on the branch? This is stunning. The stencil background is great and the flowers are superb. So glad this worked out because it is perfect for Neet's theme at AJJ.
Wonderful journal page!
