About the artwork
Title The Nuthatch (a bird portrait) Description <01> <11>British wildlife British birds >/11> A portrait in oils of an another cherished British garden bird, the Nuthatch. The nuthatch is a plump British garden bird about the size of a great tit, that resembles a small woodpecker. It is blue-grey above and whitish below, with chestnut on its sides and under its tail. It has a black stripe on its head, a long black pointed bill and short legs, who’s energetic tree climbing antics set it apart from other birds, with its unique ability to hang upside down from branches. It’s warm yellow and almost peach coloured plumage contrasting and complemented by its grey blue headdress makes an appearance both charming and woodpecker like. Its inspiration was taken during the Winter months when this bird is quite active. My main objectives were to create a piece that:- Shows the subtle and rich colours of the bird
- Capture the beauty of Winter
- bring our the textures of bark, the feathers and the characteristics that reflect the nature of the Nuthatch
