’Osprey Rising’
Watercolour painting of Osprey on 300gsm 100% cotton watercolour.
10×20”
A fierce and capable hunter, ospreys are the fishermen of our inland lakes and rivers during the spring and summer months. They arrive in April amongst a flurry of excitement as locals look out for their first glimpses of this majestic bird of prey.
To see an osprey descend into the water to fish is a wonderful sight as they plummet through the water. They are able to carry their own weight in fish and have adapted to grasp and hold the fish in the most aerodynamic way when taking it back to the nest.
I am fortunate to live in an area of England where ospreys have returned after a long absence. This - and the painting, Osprey’s Descent - focus in on those fleeting moments when the bird is at one in two elements, water and air.
Framed in white solid wood St Ives frame.
