’Nesting Grebe’
Watercolour painting of Great Crested Grebe on 300gsm 100% cotton watercolour.
Size of painted area: 31×23 cm (9×12”)
Great Crested Grebes have the most wonderful and tender courtship rituals, and we have been lucky enough to witness these on more than one occasion at our local RSPB reserve.
In a gentle rhythm, they bow their heads forward, stretch their necks back, dip them to the side, stretch their necks tall, and all of this whilst attuning to and synchronising with their partner.
They also have a comical, but very beautiful, ritual where they adorn themselves with emerald green pond weed. They dive down into the depths of the water and re-emerge with the glistening weed draped over their heads - looking for all the world like they are wearing some resplendent headdress.
Available unframed or framed in white solid wood St Ives frame (to order - expected framing time 3 weeks).
