Kestrel Original Acrylic " Rowan "

Framed Size  21" x 9", with non reflective glass.  We have been lucky enough to have one of these stunning birds hunting on our land for the last few months, resting on one of the fence posts.  It has been a real joy to watch and the inspiration for this painting.  I wanted a tree name for him, so I thought Rowan suited him perfectly.  SOLD at the Suffolk Show.

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.   

Kestrels are most easily distinguished by their typical hunting behaviour which is to hover over open country and swoop down on prey, usually small mammals, lizards or large insects. Read more.....RSPB Kestrel
