This small painting is of a puffin I encountered on a recent trip to Inner Farne, one of the small islands just off the Northumberland coast.
The parent birds take it in turns to protect the nest and fly out to sea to feed and catch food for their single puffling baby. Each time they return with a bill full of fish for their growing chick, they are targets for marauding gulls. To try to avoid being mugged, the puffins sneak, or make a low dash, home through the swathes of of sea campion and "Good King Henry" plants.
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.
