‘Dance of the Avocets’
Watercolour painting of avocets in flight on 300gsm 100% cotton watercolour.
Size of painted area: 46×36 cm (18×14”)
To see avocets in flight is to see poetry in motion. These are beautiful, delicate wading birds. Once extinct in the UK, they are now beginning to flourish once more. Avocets have striking black markings on their wings and head, contrasting with their otherwise snow white bodies. They have a slender, upward curving beak and long pale blue legs. In flight, all of these elements come together to create one of the most elegant sights in the bird world.
Following the progress of these lovely birds through the mating season is always a delight. This painting was inspired by seeing avocets swooping through the evening light on the salt marsh reserve where they spend the summer.
Available framed in white solid wood St Ives frame.
Framed size: 61cm wide × 51cm high x 3cm deep.
