The Early Bird

Recently I did a fun bird painting for the birth of our neighbours baby. It was so enjoyable doing that I decided to do another in the same style and here it is.
The painting depicts a mother bird holding a big fat juicy worm in her beak about to feed her three squaking chicks. The use of vibrant colours gives the effect of a lively cheerful scene that will brighten any child's room and a fun way to kickstart discussion and creativity.

My True Love.
Generally my style of art is Representational – realistic stuff, anything that has a strong recognisable subject. Sometimes however I abandon my fine art lured by my previous life as a graphic designer and momentarily I'm overcome and revert to the use of minimalist shapes, images and bright colours.
Being an impatient individual, I prefer to work with acrylics rather than other mediums because of their quick drying time. This allows me the flexibility to make mistakes, knowing that I'm able to quickly correct and paint over them.
As an artist I usually I start with a pencil sketch in my painting diary. I don't necessarily paint it straight away, but often visit the diary as inspiration for future work. My true love is the challenge of capturing the the things and sights that have inspired me on my travels around and about.
