Original mixed media artwork of swallow and flowers, gift for bird lover

A splash of summer sunshine, colour and movement, 'Summer Swallow' is an original mixed-media artwork inspired by a beautiful summer's day and the effortless flight of a swallow. The artwork would make a lovely gift for a nature lover, bird enthusiast, or anyone who enjoys bright, uplifting artwork with a touch of the unexpected. I created the background by layering inks, acrylic paints and decoupage papers onto canvas, building up a richly textured surface full of colour and pattern. I then cut sections from the painted canvas and carefully rearranged them to create a striking stained-glass effect. Stylised flowers in shades of pink, burgundy and ochre have been added to some of the individual sections, creating pops of colour in the foreground. At the heart of the piece is a swallow in flight, painted and positioned to capture that wonderful sense of freedom and movement that makes these birds so captivating. A shimmering stylised golden sun in the top corner completes the scene and was created using a woodblock print to add an interesting graphic detail. With its bold colours, layered textures and joyful sense of movement, 'Summer Swallow' is a one-of-a-kind piece designed to bring a little bit of summer into your home all year round. The artwork is presented in a black and white frame - outer measurements 22.5cm x 27.5cm and a good quality double mount with a 14x19cm aperture. The frame has glass at the front with a hanging hook and strut on the reverse, allowing you to choose how it is displayed. It is titled and signed on reverse. I have included photos of the artwork in and out of the frame. It has been photographed with the glass removed to reduce glare. I've made a matching tag to use if you're sending it as a gift. - FOR MULTIPLE PURCHASES I COMBINE POSTAGE AND REFUND EXCESS - The item will be sent Royal Mail 48 hr tracked DELIVERY TO UK MAINLAND ONLY
