Acrylic and oil pastel on canvas board
W 8” x H 10” x D 1.5”
I painted this little nuthatch some years ago, inspired by a photograph I spotted in a magazine. I was immediately drawn to its pose on the tree, alert, playful and full of character. The harmony between the bird’s soft peach and cream tones and rich blue plumage felt like nature had offered the perfect colour pairing. I often watch the birds at the feeder from my kitchen window, amused by their lively squabbles for the best seeds. This daily spectacle inspired me to capture the nuthatch’s cheeky, determined spirit in paint.
