The Proud Pied
Watercolour on Arches 140 lbs / 300 gsm paper.
Framed size: 54 x 71 cm
2016
Every morning, this Pied Cormorant fishes in the small creek behind our home. Once he has eaten his fill, he sits quietly on a dead branch, resting and gloating over his morning’s successes. The painting attempts to demonstrate his proud stature by ‘bejewelling’ the tree as if it was his throne, and minimizing the lush background of the forest.
