The two subjects in my latest painting for The Natural Eye exhibition this October. Today I’m hoping to finish the juvenile in flight. In my photos the tail is hidden by a branch so I’m researching what a Great-spotted woodpecker’s tail looks like from below! #workinprogress #birdart #wildlifeart

Foxgloves are still blooming in North East Scotland. I like how the historic paint colours in my little mud home complement the watercolour pigments 🎨 #earthhouse #palette #flowers #paint #scotland #heritage

Working on three new paintings inspired by the red squirrels I’ve been watching. My new home in Scotland is a great source of inspiration #redsquirrel #wildlifeart #scotland #art #wildlifeartist #countrylife #artist

Forests, Glens, Rivers, and Beaches are all on my doorstep in North East Scotland, my new home. These habitats are a delight to me as an artist, and offer new and diverse wildlife, some I’ve never witnessed before. #womeninart #scotland #wildlifeart #nature

Been working on this fledgling, the last to leave the nest - which was in my front porch. I’ll add a few finishing touches tomorrow when the paint is a little drier 🎨 www.lauraandrew.com

I found an empty nest on the ground. It’s very robust and compactly woven. Hair and threads have been used on the interior. It’s very tiny, maybe a Goldcrest or Warbler? #yorkshire #nest #birds

‘Bullfinches in Shade’. From sketch to gallery. I witnessed this flirty pair & did a quick sketch to take to my studio. At the Society of Wildlife Artists’ exhibition in London the painting won the RSPB award 😌 #birdart #womensart #bullfinch #art #birds Original SOLD. Prints to order 💌 Please DM

Lots of demanding fledgling tits in my garden 🎶

Previously on show at Mall Galleries in London at the Society of Wildlife Artists exhibition. Framed and delivered £650 #birdart #fibonaccispiral #britishart #birds

Painted last year, I’m thinking of lightening the background of this Chaffinch painting - or changing it completely. What do you think?

I often find nests. This one was on the ground yesterday in my garden, I think blown from the woodland next door. No eggs in it. My first found nest in my new Scottish home 🪹 Any ID suggestions welcome.

Too fat to fledge? You made it! 🐥 Last chick had been fed lots of juicy caterpillars and I wondered if he could squeeze out, but just after I took these photos he joined the siblings in my garden

Movement and the essence of the creature I draw is what I aim to capture. Here’s some mixed media pieces - which is your favourite?

Back to basics 🎨 Today I’m sticking to the colours I was shown at art school (Pic 2) The art materials industry has exploded & it’s easy to believe you need the latest fancy shades, most of which can be mixed from a few. So, step aside buffs, quinacridones and operas - give me headspace to paint!

I have a pair of woodpecker artworks available. Both are hand-finished prints so have a bit of ‘original’ drawing on them. Both the Great-spotted and Green woodpeckers live in the little woodland next to my new home 💚 www.lauraandrew.com/shop/p/green... #birds #birdart #wildlifeartist

I’m on my way to the Lincolnshire Wolds this morning to deliver a 3-day floral painting workshop. I had a little practice yesterday, painting some of their blooms 🌸

I have relocated to East Scotland 😃 🎉 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 It’s refreshing to see so much wildlife - bees, dippers, red squirrels, bullfinches, yellowhammers all on my doorstep. Here’s some red squirrels which I’ll be painting soon 🎨 #scotland #scottishwildlife #scottishart #wildlifeart #wildlifeartist

Kingfisher Diving, 80 x 40cm. Oil on canvas. Inspired by sightings on the River Witham in Lincolnshire. There’s a hint of a Yellow waterlily in this painting - can you see it? 💛 #birds #kingfisher #birdart
