The artwork is currently on show in my solo show IN FlIGHT at The Hyde Gallery in London. 
 
The Bird of Bahia is the third painting in the series of gold panels that captures the essence of Brazil.
 
Part of the Brazil collection, each bird is painted and given character, carefully considering colour & pairing with the botanical work. 
 
The painting shows contrasting painting techniques of fine art & contemporary foliage. A single hummingbird that injects a burst of color, set against a backdrop of acrylic wash on birchwood. Showing the delicate grains in the birchwood in contrast with the vibrant oils of which the hummingbird is painted. 
 
A piece for art collectors who appreciate vibrant, nature-inspired works. The birchwood panel is set on a 24ct gold-leafed wood panel. Creating not only a painting but a sculptured piece of art.
