Red Kite

Description

We have been keen to see a Red Kite around our village in North Devon for a couple of years. In fact, ever since, a neighbour said he had seen one flying over. Last year we managed it, and we spent some time watching one of these magnificent birds hunting over a field which was being cut for silage. The distinctive forked tail, and rusty-brown coloured body was unmistakeable. It was lovely to see this bird in Devon, it was nearly wiped out in the UK in the early 1900s, but is slowly making its way back into our countryside.

A bit about me:
I am a full time professional artist based in North Devon in the United Kingdom. Specialising in wildlife – animals, birds, insects and botanical studies, I love to capture the life within my paintings. I very much enjoy the process of working with the watercolour medium to create fine detail. My portfolio is ever expanding and many of my paintings are available as tutorials – both written and video. Take a look on my channels, and you may see this painting being created, maybe even have a go yourself!
Thank you for browsing my work, and I look forward to hearing from you.
