Sparrows Original Acrylic " Flutter of Sparrows "

Framed Size 9" x 21".  I just love these little fellows and have tried to capture an often repeated scene, as these eight group perch together on a fine branch.  They seem to be looking purposefully and peacefully in the same direction.  SOLD at the Suffolk Show.

House Sparrows make a wide range of chirping and chattering sounds; the courtship song being unkindly described as ‘a monotonous series of call notes'.  The decline in House Sparrows has been going on for several decades and there appear to be different factors influencing rural and suburban populations.  Read more.....BTO House Sparrow

The painting is on Cold Press, extra heavy, off white Crescent art board and I aim to produce the finest detail in both the subject and its natural setting.  The shade of the Daler mountboard is carefully selected depending on the painting, as is the toning of the frame itself.
