ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Common whitethroat (Curruca communis), Eurasia & Africa. When I took the photo, he or she was sitting on a birch sapling, brilliantly lit against an almost-black ground. I wanted to paint with a greater degree of realism than I usually do, to try to capture the shining brilliance of the newly-budding birch leaves, and the remarkable jewel-like curve above the bird's eye. Alkyd oils on canvas, with acrylic underpainting and additional use of graphite pencil and marker pen. Canvas edges near-black. Signed and dated bottom right. Size 50 x 50 cm (19.7 x 19.7 inches), edge depth 1.8 cm (0.7 inches). Reference photo: own photo, Guildford, UK.

My art imagines what birds might say if they could speak our language. They would fear and hate us, surely: we are fast destroying their planet. They would tell us to stop before it's too late. But perhaps they'd frame that with love. I think they'd frame it with love. Contact:
