Watercolour on paper
Signed on the front.
"Grey Butcherbird" by Anica Amphlett is an original watercolour painting and requires framing to hang.
Butcherbird's get their name from their butcher-like feeding-style by empaling their catch on a branch or twig. Even the end of their beak looks like a hook, but that part of their existence didn't inspire me, I was inspired though, with their graceful demeanour when sitting still. And this is what I portrayed in the painting. Butcherbirds also have a delightful song and can mimic other birds as well as making their song melodically versatile.
Mission: I strive to express emotion in my artwork and hopes it resonates with you too. I also hope that it lifts a special spot in your home. My style is a combination of looseness and detail, allowing watercolour to do its magic and then adding some detail bringing the subject to life.
The painting will be delivered flat and ready for framing.
