Trying something new

I've been itching to do some more realistic work for a long time but whenever I tried it just didn't click for me, until last week when I decided to do some new little paintings of birds. Here is my first one called 'House Sparrow', I think you would call this style more impressionistic, which I am really pleased with.

There are little spots of shimmering glitter on the birdie and the tree branch, so I still got to add my little mixed media accents to it.
