This painting started on a visit to the Farne Islands off
the Northumbrian coast. It’s a well managed nature reserve and the cliffs are a
haven for several species of sea birds. The boatman who ferried us over steered
slowly under the cliffs to give good views of the birds.
This painting in – acrylic on canvas – was composed from a
preliminary mixed media study which is on the Wildlife Page on my website. The
cliff skyline was populated by gulls, Cormorants, and Puffins. Such a choice
but I’ve just included a single Puffin who looks as if he’s curious about
what’s going on.
