Framed Size 9" x 21", with non reflective glass. Following my pigeon commission ( " Crop full of Berries " ) I was approached by the farmer's son to paint pheasants in flight in a scene similar to the one I have finally created. I think I have captured an appealing setting with the startled deers in the distance. This became one of my Christmas cards. SOLD as a commission
Pheasants are large, long-tailed gamebirds. Males have rich chestnut, golden-brown and black markings on their bodies and tails, with a dark green head and red face wattling. Females are mottled with paler brown and black. Read more.....RSPB Pheasant
The painting is on Cold Press, extra heavy, off white Crescent art board and I aim to produce the finest detail in both the subject and its natural setting. The shade of the Daler mountboard is carefully selected depending on the painting, as is the toning of the frame itself.
