Bulfinch

I have completed the 'secret' pet portrait, so inbetween commissions I sketched this little male bulfinch in graphite pencil with hightlights of coloured pencil.

Lady Blue

I have started another painting of Jemima reclining on a blue cushion, and I thought I'd give you a sneak preview of how it is coming along.  However, she will have to go on the backburner for a little while as I have a secret commission to undertake which I will eventually be able to post here when the recipient recieves it as a gift.

Dianthus 'Angel Wings'

This is my most recently completed painting, of a dianthus called 'Angel Wings' that grows in my garden.  The scent is delicious and the colours a little psychadelic.  To see the progression of the painting please go to http://www.benjablue.com/angelwings.html .
