New painting: Golden plover
Colin has been working on a couple of paintings recently, and this is one of them – a golden plover in summer plumage. We used to see flocks of golden plovers far more often than we do now, and they are really gorgeous. I just love this painting, and the background sets it off perfectly!
If you click on the second image, it will enlarge to roughly the same size as the original painting.

i love the colors in the bird and the purple in the background is very nice. Colin has done such a good job of drawing the plover that I think if I ever saw one, I would know exactly what it was. Maybe I am being a bit simplistic but it reminds me of a fancier, larger thrush.

That is very kind of you to say so! Colin is very good at conveying the character as well as the plumage of the bird. It is probably a bit bigger than a mistle thrush in body but roughly the same kind of shape.

So sharp and beautifully detailed. I agree that the background sets it off perfectly. A triumph!

Thank you, Lorna! It has just the right look on its face for a golden plover – innocent and just a bit confused! I love the background too – beautiful colours.

They are really gorgeous!

Aren’t they beautiful?! We used to see them in flocks all the time on farmland but they are much less common now – possibly due to the change in farming methods. Gorgeous little birds!
