Sparrow Song v3

Cyanotype and acrylic on linen, 31cm x 41cm

I sat for ages to get a photo of the sparrows perched on the wild rose. The seagulls soared overhead, in their own world.

The wild rose grows over from my neighbour’s garden. He used to think he had to cut it back for us, but I asked him not to. I love the way it grows wildly, and the sparrows love it too.

The cyanotype was exposed in sunlight in the garden. I sat beside it with my cat on her lead, soaking up the Scottish sun.
