Small Australian Bird Studies

 

This is a composite collection of the small Australian bird studies I have been working on recently. In this collection of miniatures I have illustrated the Blue Wren, the Variegated Fairy Wren, the Pink Robin, and the gorgeous male and female Scarlet Robin. It is fairly rare that I work small, but I have enjoyed producing this collection very much. This change of pace has been so enjoyable that I will aim to produce more small works from now on.

Many thanks to my wonderful bird photographer friends who generously offered me the reference for these paintings, Steven Merrett, Tim Collins, Leeo Photos, Nikki Redman and Peter Humphries.
