‘Courtship’
Watercolour painting of two Nuthatches on 300gsm 100% cotton watercolour.
Size of painted area: 41×41 cm (16×16”)
Framed size: 54×54cm
The dance of courtship. Watching and listening to nuthatches in spring is a true joy! They have the most beautiful musical call at this time of year and they can sometimes be seen move up and down the trees and fluttering in front of each other as they begin their courtship.
Framed in white solid wood St Ives frame.
’Sky Dancers’
Watercolour painting of Swallows on 300gsm 100% cotton watercolour.
Size of painted area: 41×41 cm (16×16”)
Framed size: 54×54cm
It is our summer visitors - swallows, house martins and swifts - who fill our sky with their aerial displays. In the winter, when they are gone, the skies are much quieter.
This painting is a celebration of the sky dancing swallows filling the air with their sound and their flight on a summer’s day.
Framed in white solid wood St Ives frame.

‘Dipper’
Watercolour painting of Dipper on 300gsm 100% cotton watercolour.
Size of painted area: 20×20 cm (8×8”)
A flash of white, a streak of movement, and the dipper is gone, moving swiftly through the river, until it emerges again on a nearby rock. Here, it stands, dipping its body in that characteristic way, a lovely rounded bird with a rich brown body and white breast.
I never tire of watching dippers on our local rivers and streams, or cease to be amazed by how often they seem to flit past without anyone else seeing them. Training oneself to see these hidden gems is part of the wonder of the natural world - it is here for us if we have eyes to see.
