A Happy Accident in Formby
My wife and I stopped at Formby pinewoods on the way home from visiting family in July 2025, hoping to spot red squirrels amongst the pine trails. After searching without any luck, this robin appeared on a nearby branch, standing on one leg, utterly relaxed, and in no hurry to move. The pose, combined with the elegant curve of the branch, immediately struck me as something worth painting.
Robins are one of Britain’s most familiar birds, but this one caught me off guard. I’ve very rarely seen one balanced so still on a single leg. The original is 8×8″ oils on Ampersand Gessobord, painted in a single session in my Sheffield studio.
