‘Dance of the Godwits’
Watercolour painting of Black-Tailed Godwits on 300gsm 100% cotton watercolour.
Size of painted area: 31×23 cm (9×12”)
This year we have been fortunate to see a large flock of black-tailed godwits at our local wetland nature reserve. In their mating plumage - the rich rust and silver tones of pine tree bark - these are striking birds. Like all waders, seeing them fly, preen, ‘dance’ and feed is fascinating - their elegant long beaks and legs, and their beautifully marked wings cause endless permutations of colour and light as they move. A delight for any wildlife artist!
This delicate painting of two godwits brings to life their dancing movements.
Available framed in dark blue-grey solid wood St Ives frame (to order - expected time 3 weeks).
