ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The Crested Oropendola is common in the Amazon region where its nests can be found hanging from trees above the river. The birds that I paint are ones that I have seen and photographed personally as I like to maintain a connection. I prefer a plain white background in my watercolours, painting in semi-realistic style. I like to capture some detail but prefer a degree of looseness that I feel appeals to bird-lovers, ornithologists or those keen to decorate their homes with colourful bird pictures. Many of my paintings are in A4 paper size but I prefer to paint on larger supports eg A3 or 34 cm x 40 cm, or imperial when I can get it. My watercolour paintings, made with top quality pigments, are sold unframed. My recommendation for framing is to have a 5cm matt, non-reflecting glass, and a simple black wooden frame. Owing to the covid-19 pandemic there may be a delay in delivery of artworks but I aim to ensure delivery time is minimised.

Birds. And Nature. These are the subjects that inspire me. At an early age I loved exploring hedgerows and streams. Teeming with diverse life, they fascinated me. My appreciation of flora and fauna broadened, through travel, to include birds, plants, animals and insects, though birds were always special. I am a British artist and photographer based in Brazil. My nomadic life began in Libya, where I was born, and has taken me to live in 15 countries on 5 continents, visiting 40 or more other countries in my lifetime. Places as diverse as deserts, rainforests and the concrete jungles of city life have been home to me. I remain a keen traveller focusing on commercial Travel / Food photography and writing in addition to painting.  While most of my paintings are in watercolour I also paint in other media. I would describe my style as loose/tight as I like to balance a degree of looseness against the detail found in the key elements of a bird's genus. My aim is to make them recognisable while retaining an element of artistic impressionism.
