The Kestrel is the first bird I ever fell in love with. As a child I was always obsessed with birds of prey and painted and drew them so often. My paintings now tend to be of smaller birds but this one is an exception. Originally a larger piece, I experimented with various props to see what sort of results I could get. Using a small vanity mirror here shows this Kestrel admiring itself. But there is also something strange about it. Doesn't it seem as though the bird in the mirror is different? I thought so, giving this painting a Dorian Grey feeling. Perhaps it is true that old loves never age! I hope you enjoy this painting as much as I do :))
Kestrel in a Mirror is an A4 (29.7cm x 21cm) giclee print (which means high quality and long lasting) on 300gsm textured fine art paper using the finest archival quality inks. The image was created using traditional soft pastel painting, utilising found objects, on acid free black paper. It was then photographed and edited for print production using digital software.
The item comes without frame and delivered first class using sustainable eco friendly packaging.
Thank you for viewing my listing and reading this. As with all the art I produce it is my sincere wish that it raises joy, love and peace in people's hearts and homes.
