Original mixed media oil painting on gallery wrapped canvas. Size 25 x 25 cm.
Often overlooked, the starling is one of nature’s quiet marvels. Up close, its dark plumage reveals an iridescent shimmer — flecks of violet, green and bronze catching the light like hidden stars. This small painting celebrates that subtle beauty, inviting the viewer to slow down and notice what is usually seen only in passing.
Starlings are also known for their extraordinary aerial displays, moving together in vast, fluid murmurations that turn the sky into a living drawing. This piece holds a moment of that magic in stillness — a single bird, resting, alert, and full of quiet character.
Painted with layered textures and careful detail, this work is a gentle reminder that wonder often lives in the smallest, most familiar creatures. Perfect for bringing a sense of calm, curiosity and connection to nature into your home.
