The winter scene was to include muntjacks and winter birds not to mention the family cat! The summer scene was to include lots of beautiful flowers, birds and my client's lovely dog. I was provided with a set of fantastic photos which had been taken in both seasons which really helped to get the contents of the paintings correct whilst at the same time keeping them full of life and movement.
