Birds' Eye View 1

$1,350.00

About the painting

Birds' Eye View 1 was inspired by the abundant bird life that passes over my Kapiti Coast garden studio each day. We seem to be on a busy bird flight path, with birds constantly crossing the sky above the garden.

This painting reflects my imagination of what birds fly over. Layers of oil and cold wax have been built up to create a sense of land, water and cloud, with small bird-like marks swooping across the landscape. I love how cold wax allows me to create a feeling of timelessness and history – something that feels particularly appropriate when exploring the relationship between land, sea and sky.

What draws people to this painting

  • The sense of movement inspired by birds swooping across the landscape.

  • The richly layered oil and cold wax surface that reveals more detail the longer you look.

  • The calm, atmospheric colour palette.

  • The suggestion of an aerial view that invites personal interpretation.

79cm × 79cm, painted on canvas and includes natural timber floating frame.

This painting would look fabulous paired with Birds’ Eye View 2.
