Original artwork description:

Over the last two months life has changed considerably. With roads quieter and everyone at home suddenly birdsong seems to be everywhere. My studio is in the garden with bird-feeders outside the windows. I thought I would fill my lockdown by painting my companions in isolation. There is a great comfort in nature continuing oblivious to these strange times, busts of colour and life.

This work feature a great tit. I wanted to create quite a subtle painting pallet, the tones almost chromatic compared to my blue tit series. They were a constant companion to the blue tits this winter in my garden, eating me out of home in peanuts. I thought they should earn their keep so painting it to go with my flock of blue tits.

Artwork comes framed in a 75mm Bronze floral embossed (high pattern) wooden mold, ready to hang without glass. Oil paintings stay healthiest with air flow over the canvas surface, it also allows you to see the texture of the paint without reflection.
