Beautiful Tui with flax on recycled macrocarpa board

It's the time of year when Tuis really benefit from the sugar water feeders out in the back garden. They're beautiful colours and song can really brighten up a dreary winter's day.

Here is a handsome looking Tui making the most of a flax plant for some well needed sustenance. His image has been created using high quality coloured pencils on a rustic piece of recycled macrocarpa.

The board is a piece I have rescued from some timber I have been steadily replacing on the outside of my bach. I particularly like this piece because of the remaining lichen and the natural colours it brings to the wood.

This piece measures 32 x 20cm.
