New #painting: "Bass Rock gannets rock" of the #birds nesting on the cliffs and doing their thing - sleeping, preening, incubating their eggs, pair bonding, hanging out. Sir David Attenborough described #BassRock as “one of the 12 wildlife wonders of the world”. I would agree, hence the title!
Watercolour - 365 x 365mm - on 600gsm paper - £300
Here's my 1st completed #painting for some weeks: "A Northerly breeze". It shows a northern #gannet floating on the air near its nesting colony at #BassRock, near #NorthBerwick.
We visited Bass Rock last week. It's magical being so close to these huge, glorious seabirds!
I have painted the #gannets in context with choppy waves & cloudy skies & tried to express the effortlessness & speed of just hanging on the breeze.
