The Keeper of Small Things – Original Blackbird Painting

Description:
A small guardian in a vibrant, living world.

This original artwork centres around a crowned blackbird — a quiet symbol of voice, presence, and hidden stories. Surrounded by rich botanical forms and layered textures, the piece balances playfulness with depth.

There’s a sense that this bird is not just part of the scene, but holding something within it.

Created with a distinctive mixed media technique, combining high-pigment watercolour and acrylic on canvas, allowing for both delicate transparency and bold, textured details.

The composition developed intuitively, letting shapes and colours guide the process rather than forcing a fixed idea — resulting in a piece that feels alive and evolving.

 Details:

• Original artwork (one of a kind)
• Size: approx. 30 x 30 cm
• Medium: Mixed media (watercolour & acrylic on canvas)
• Framed in a natural pine floating frame
• Ready to hang

A piece for those who connect with symbolism, nature, and expressive, slightly magical imagery.
