The title of this painting, "Puffin Watching" is deliberately ambiguous. Because while people are watching the puffins, those puffins are also watching us! It feels a comfortably relaxed reciprocal arrangement, in which both parties get to see the other, without too much stress or disruption.
Listening to a podcast about puffins in Nova Scotia, Canada, the presenter mentioned that researchers there needed a bird hide or "blind" to get close enough to observe and study the birds. But on Inner Farne, the puffins are quite accustomed to seeing people at fairly close quarters.
This work was created using Artist's acrylic paints on a canvasboard.
The painted image is 30 by 40 cm. It is ready to hang and framed in a bespoke white painted wooden frame, making the the outer dimensions of the framed work 38 by 48 cm.
