American Robin (American Songbird Series, Nov 2020)

After years in the planning I've finally put a rather splashy watercolour brush to paper and embarked on my series of American Songbirds.

As a lifelong city dweller these incredible creatures are by far the most regular birds I see and I can't overstate how precious these encounters are, an absolute delight to both eye and ear and a lifting of my spirit out of the everyday and into the skies. I guess I should have started with a series of British Birds but the stunning colours (and fab hairdos!) of their American cousins was a temptation I could not resist.

This American Robin has been painted in Gouache and colour pencil on a watercolour background carefully chosen to best compliment the Inky hues of the Cardinal. This piece is on opulently thick 100% cotton Fabriano Artistico HP paper measuring 11" by 14"

I'm incredibly careful when shipping my treasured birds and each one will be carefully wrapped in glassine paper and acid free tissue then lovingly sealed with a wax stamp.

Important Note: Please allow up to two weeks for your artwork to be shipped.
