Mixed media artwork, bird painting, gift for bird lover, christmas gift

I've given my latest 'Birds & Blooms' mixed media artwork an eyecatching, mosaic tile-effect border, pieced together from little snippets of pretty fabrics, many with colourful floral motifs. I've echoed some of these patterns and colours within the main artwork too, creating a lovely sense of harmony between the border and the central design. At the heart of the piece is a pretty teal bird, caught in the moment of alighting on a pink rose. The bird has been created using a mix of acrylics, inks and tiny pieces of decoupage paper, with individual feathers carefully cut and layered to form the delicate, fluttering wing. I've added snippets of decoupage paper to the lemon-yellow breast feathers too, adding a tactile quality, while little fragments tucked into the flowers and foliage introduce subtle pattern and interest. At the top, the design culminates in an ornate arch, inspired by the graceful shape in the paisley fabric. I've finished the arch with a border of gold metallic ink, catching the light and adding a little touch of bohemian sparkle. This cheerful artwork has a slightly exotic, free-spirited feel and would add a lovely pop of colour to a wall or make a pretty, one-of-a-kind piece for anyone who loves birds, flowers, pattern and handmade art. The artwork is presented in a black and white frame - outer measurements approx 11x9 inches and an off-white mount with a 7x5 aperture. The frame has a hanging hook and strut on the reverse allowing you to choose how it is displayed. It has glass at the front and it is signed and titled on the reverse. And in case you're sending it as a gift, it comes with a matching tag. I have included photos of the artwork in and out of the frame. It has been photographed without the glass in place to reduce glare. FOR MULTIPLE PURCHASES I COMBINE DELIVERY COSTS AND REFUND EXCESS.
