Artwork Description

An original painting by Clare McCartney of a gorgeous Purple Crowned Fairy Wren, sporting a metallic gold background that shines in the light. The surface is a lovely textured paper – Arches 300gsm Watercolour paper, in natural white 100% cotton.

The work has been mounted to a 3.5cm deep cradle board, sealed with cold wax, and ready to hang with d-rings and wire. The wax protects the watercolour from the elements so it does not need to be behind glass. For upkeep, it simply needs to be wiped over with a lint-free cloth. The edges are black and act as a frame, but it can also be framed with a floating frame.

It is signed on the front and back, accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity.

*Note, gold is hard to photograph in different lighting as it is reflective.

Any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.

Artist Bio

I've always enjoyed incorporating art into my everyday, whether it be through my work as a designer or by painting in spare time. My art reflects my love of birdlife, passion for patterns and background in graphic design. Experiments over the years have drawn me to watercolour as my medium of choice. I find its ability to layer colours and shapes can truly bring a bird portrait to life. My work features in homes and businesses around Australia, as well as internationally.
