Sunlight (Crested Pigeon) Original Watercolour on museum board 24.2cm x 18.8cm

Frances’s Inspiration: “At first glance the common Crested Pigeon seems like a rather unassuming plain grey bird. It’s only on closer inspection that its beauty becomes more apparent. Soft grey plumage suffused with pink and the striking barring and iridescent patches on the wings make this a bird of great beauty. When taking off in alarm, a modified primary feather cuts through the air, making a whistling sound. This serves as an alarm call for the flock and birds can escape even if not in sight of each other.  Light has the power to transform even the “common and grey” into a subject worthy of immortalising and a subject I thoroughly enjoyed painting”.
