Watercolour on paper, ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

I was rummaging through my plan chest the other day and stumbled across this work on paper from 2018. This was one of 3 similar works including one large commission I produced in 2017 and 2018 titled John Gould Takes aTrip. This smaller study would make a cracking Christmas gift and is currently at the framers and will be ready for shipping from 4th December.

Here's the original statement that accompanied the works:

This flamboyant painting on paper in sublime teal, green and peacock blue hues would make an amazing statement on your feature wall. It is intended to bring a sense of joy to the viewer, and a reminder that life needn't be too serious.

Purists and bird enthusiasts/ornithologists please look away, I meant to paint these Major Mitchell-esque friends in their correct salmon pink colour but my colour addiction got the better of me and I started mixing up peacock blues and before you know it here we are with a large work featuring my favourite colours. No disrespect to John Gould, whom I admire greatly and who inspires my work, but sometimes birds just wanna have fun.
