This oystercatcher painting has been hand-painted in acrylic paint on a small yet beautiful piece of Hampshire driftwood. The wood has some stunning markings and colouring in it and this oystercatcher sits beautifully in place.    

This original oystercatcher painting measures 15.7cm (w) x 10cm (h) x 2.2cm (d). It comes complete with a saw-tooth picture hanger ready to hang on your wall. Olivia 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.
