Original Painting of American Kestrels (Falco sparverius) by Wildlife Artist & Online Art Tutor Paul Hopkinson
The Kestrel is the smallest falcon in North America, where it likes to perch on roadside wires. It hunts for prey by hovering low over fields, and will eat mainly large insects, or small mammals, birds and reptiles. It is a cavity nesting bird, and in areas without suitable tree cavities, it may be encouraged to nest in a box.

Painting size 21.3 cm x 28.5 cm or 8.4'' x 11.2''
Paper size 26.8 cm x 30.9 cm or 10.6'' x 12.2''

Packaging & Materials
I have used an excellent quality watercolour paper and the finest of brushes to produce the tiny details which bring this painting to life.
The painting will be carefully wrapped in cellophane and protected with additional packing. I aim for my originals to arrive with you in the same condition that they left me. I use the Royal Mail’s ‘Signed for Next Day’ or ‘International Tracked’ service.
A bit about me
I am a full time professional artist based in North Devon in the United Kingdom. Specialising in wildlife - animals, birds, insects and botanical studies, I love to capture the life within my paintings. I very much enjoy the process of working with the watercolour medium to create fine detail. My portfolio is ever expanding and many of my paintings are available as tutorials - both written and video. Take a look on my channels, and you may see this painting being created, maybe even have a go yourself!
Thank you for browsing my work, and I look forward to hearing from you.
