Description

We are pleased to offer for sale this charming and meticulously detailed gouache/watercolour by the artist Richard Britton, who has signed the painting to the lower left hand corner. The painting depicts one of Britain's favourite birds, the Blue Tit, with a pair of them perched on a dead tree. With its grasslike leaves, the untidy five petalled pink flowers of ragged robin, add colour around the tree. As with the robin, this artist captures both birds, branch and flowers in minute detail.

This is one of a small collection of paintings by this artist that we have acquired and will be listing over the next few weeks.
