"The Tea Series"
( South Island Robin )
Pastel
(framed size 26x26cm)
ORIGINAL SOLD
Miniature pastel and pencil bird studies on deckled paper stained with coffee/tea. This format is designed to be smaller affordable original artworks. I figured it was ok to have bird studies from opposite sides of the globe, because I used Tetleys British tea and New Zealand coffee grains to stain the paper, I love the effect!
This beautiful wee bird is found only in the South Island of New Zealand, and I come across him on Ulva Island, which is a wildlife sanctuary island just off Stewart Island. I spent a bit of time quietly observing him while he flitted about on the forest floor, and he even came and walked around on my shoes! It's always a delight to come across these special little birds when out walking in New Zealand's back country or forests.
