Add Mount for a gorgeously thick mount to present your artwork in a 12" x 16" frame.
Ephemera sandpiper painting for the seaside loving art or bird lover.
Well gosh! Isn't Samson a handsome fella? He's an old soul this one, full of the seafaring knowledge needed to guide his flock home and keep them safe. With a deep baritone, he commands respect without ever uttering a harsh word, revered for his gentle manner and guiding presence.

This sandpiper was created using collage elements from old books, maps, music sheets and dressmaking patterns over acrylic paint with a simple word symbolic of friendship. Beautifully textural and feathersome!
How do I name them? Well, the clues are in their makeup! The character of their personality is inspired by their pose and the text or imagery in the fragments of collage paper in their makeup. From there I choose a name which reflects those attributes. It's all a bit of fun really but well worth a closer look at their feathers to see what you can spot and decipher which word has been written.
From the Oceans Apart series which explores the shifting nature of friends & friendships as they flow in and out of your life for a reason or a season.
