This is "Esther" the Curlew. Esther has been hand-painted in acrylic paint on a beautiful piece of reclaimed ash. Curlews are one of my favourite birds to paint, and Esther has been lovingly hand-painted by me in acrylic paint on a piece of reclaimed oak.

This Curlew Painting measures 12cm (w) x 19.7cm (h) x 1.5cm (d). It comes complete with a saw-tooth picture hanger ready to hang on your wall. Esther would look beautiful in a kitchen, lounge, bedroom, hallway or conservatory and would make a lovely, unique gift for a bird/nature-loving friend or family member.

I only paint wildlife on wood as I love using wood as a natural and sustainable background to my artwork. Much of the wood that I work with is reclaimed and therefore has some beautiful markings and character that deserve to be preserved and celebrated. This is a one-off piece of coastal bird art and having been coated in a flat matt varnish for protection, it should stand the test of time and can be treasured for a life-time.
