With a bill full of sand eels, it's time for this puffin to head back to the nest to feed their hungry chick. It's a constant job for puffin parents to feed their single puffling baby. They take turns to fish and protect the nest from marauding gulls, which would otherwise steal the vulnerable chicks.
To understand how puffins move underwater, I watched all the video clips I could find of them fishing.
Using this information, in combination with years of swimming in an outdoor pool in my younger days, I have created this imagined scene "Home Time".
This was painted onto textured heavy weight paper, using Artist's professional acrylic paint.
It is ready to hang, and framed in a bespoke solid oak frame which is 26 cm square. The painted area is 12 cm square.
This series of small paintings are small enough to hang anywhere- an awkward space or on a staircase, but with enough presence to always look great- singly or as a group. Hang them in blocks, vertical rows or horizonal lines.
