Ornithology Plate series - The blue tit - LIMITED EDITION

Description

This is a limited edition print of my original digital art-work(run of 50).
It measures approximately 8 x 10.25 inch (or approx. 20x26cm) and is professionally printed (not on an ink jet!)fade and smudge proof-on 300grams paper with a small white edge so it's ready to be framed.

I am fascinated by the old fashioned ornithology books. This lead me to placing the birds in the same setting. Ancient Plate version 2009.
With a lovely MirthQuake story explaning the character of this happy couple:

The love birds.
In our backyard there was a blue tit, he was browsing through the gardens with a bunch of great tits, always waiting for them to get their share and then helping himself with some food. But since a month or so I am seeing 2 blue tits with the gang of tits. He has found a friend! This morning as I was gazing out of the window of my bedroom to postpone the reality of having to get up, I saw one blue tit checking out the bird house in the garden! Just very very briefly, as if it was a no strings attached meeting with his real estate broker, just a very quick peek inside the house to see if the family would fit. If that is a good or bad thing I don't know. Either he needed to rush to the missus to tell her he found the spot they would grow old together, or he thought" This dump?"...and left it to the spiders. Time will tell, the thing I am happy about is that he is no longer alone.

Other sizes are available, just convo me and I'll quote you a price. This may take a little longer to ship since it's a special request.
I love to recreate animals and especially birds. No matter where I am, I try to capture their caracter and lifestyle. When I get home I translate it into art-work. You'll receive a MirthQuake Bird Certificate with the artwork.

If you would like the design for a custom made set of invitations, menu cards etc? Please convo me.
