Meet "Gertrude". This small blue tit painting on Cornish driftwood has been hand-painted in acrylic paint on a beautiful piece wood that I found on a local beach. This piece of driftwood is light in colour and has a lovely, rugged coastal feel. 

This original, small but beautiful blue tit painting on Cornish driftwoodwood comes complete with a saw-tooth picture hanger ready to hang on your wall. Gertrude 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 found locally or reclaimed and therefore has some beautiful markings and character that deserve to be preserved and celebrated. This is a one-off piece of bird art on wood 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.
