Watercolour on paper
Signed on the front.
Wrens would have to be the most fascinating and delicate birds I know of. Their little legs are not even as thick as a match stick and yet they carry their rotund little bodies around at such pace! No sooner do I see them in the garden, and they have darted off into the Lilypilly hedge.
Of course the Jenny is not as striking in colour as the male, but she has a gentleness about her that captures my attention every time I see her.
Here she is perched amongst the fronds of a palm, holding on tightly with her tiny feet.
This small watercolour study seemed is fitting for her size and delicacy. Ona a background of watercolour paper on illustration board. What a lovely feature this painting would bringing a touch of the natural world to any space.
