Those of you that know me will know that I get very excited over my resident Great Spotted Woodpecker, Woody. I started this painting in September last year, it’s taken me a while to complete but he’s worth the wait . With thanks to Les Liddle for the beautiful reference photo. #wildlifeartist #traceyebbsart #penandwatercolour #woodpecker #greatspottedwoodpecker
