2025 WINNER

Syd the Starling by Gilly Dutton

Original pastel, 29 cm x 23 cm

“Wet days are painting days for me whether home or away in our motor-home.

A wonderful photo of a starling appeared on FB and caught my eye. I just had to paint it. So, with the photographer's permission I did just that!

With my favourite medium of pastel for animals,  I produced my Syd ', on a rainy Spanish campsite.”
