This delightful old English nursery rhyme was the inspiration for this painting. And yes, there are 4 and 20 blackbirds around the edges of the tray. Done in a simple stroke style, they are fun to do. The faces are what I call character faces, so no stress here, because you can experiment with the look you want each one to have.
Background
Wild Grape, sides are Stillwater and top edge is Vines.
