Painting - Acrylic On Pre-gessoed Hardbard
Description
The Common Ringed Plover (Charadrius hiaticula) breeds only in the northern latitudes of the eastern hemisphere, in a broad expanse from the high arctic of Eastern Canada, Greenland and Iceland east through the Scandinavian countries as far as the eastern tip of Siberia, and south, in the west, as far as northern France. It can be highly migratory with most of the population wintering in Africa, parts of Europe and the Middle East, but some birds in central and northern Europe are year-round residents or migrate only a short distance. These charming little birds nest on beaches or flatlands, laying their eggs in simple scrapes, often away from any plant growth or cover. Like other plovers, they have an elaborate “broken wing” act by which they lure potential predators from the nest or young. Of course they only look injured and when far enough away from the nest, they take flight. This simple little study was painted, approximately life-size, on a pre-gessoed hardboard, 12 by 9 inches, in acrylics. Unframed: $400.00.
