It was the first truly warm day of the year, and though her portrait was as yet unfinished Bryony hadn't been able to resist the temptation to get outside and do some painting. She'd brought watercolours and a small easel out to the park with her and was sitting in shade, looking out at the bright flowers. There was a blue tit flitting between the undergrowth and a nearby tree, but having had her fill of birds for the time being, Bryony was focused on clump of white-and-yellow daffodils. She painted the stems with long, quick strokes and then cleaned her brush to add the yellow petals, totally absorbed.

When the blue tit took startled flight in her direction, Bryony instinctively ducked - though the bird cleared where she would have been by several inches - and looked up from her work.

Spotting the cause of the bird's startled flight, Bryony offered a polite smile and a slight wave. "It's fine," she replied, having to raise her voice a little to be heard. "I should pay more attention to my surroundings." Ducking had caused one petal to skitter a little off course, but fortunately she was using a pale cream at that particular moment, which could easily be covered over later with blue-grey sky or green hedge. Still she put her brush down and dapped at the errant paint with a tissue, it was just a good habit to get into.

That done, she watched her new companion for a moment, wanting to wait until she'd either passed through or settled down herself before she returned to her work.
