This tiny brown British Wren can be heard scuttling about in the hedgerows on many a walk near my home and makes for a lovely print. Wrens are one of the UK’s commonest birds and a favourite of mine. This summer I was delighted when one of these lovely birds made a home in my garden which inspired me to paint this piece as I watched him darting around the decking. They are round birds with a fine bill, long legs and toes, with short round wings and a narrow tail, which they tilt perkily. For such a small bird they have a remarkably loud voice, churring and chattering in the hedgerows.
I really enjoyed painting the original piece in oil on a thick edged canvas with a complex background of an old wooden door with decorative fixings. The print would look lovely as a set (see other examples in the series) on a wall in your home, or individually in a prominent corner.
‘Little Bird’ series - whether you are a bird enthusiast or not, we can all take a moment to marvel at the beautiful sound a bird makes. Birds connect people of all cultures and backgrounds across the world, and in that sense they are grounding and keep us rooted in the natural world. Bird song heralds our mornings and closes our days as dusk draws in. What would we do without birds? I love to paint them and because of their astonishing diversity, I have an endless supply of inspiration.
