Sparrow
No duty or import fees
This is a museum-quality print of an original work by Paul Ward completed in acrylic on a painted book page.
As I type this short description, I can hear the chirping of newly hatched sparrows. Their parents have taken up residence in a vent hole in the kitchen of our apartment and have done so for the past five years. The small birds flitting from plant to plant on our windowsill have become as much part of our apartment as we are. They are fed promptly at 9:30 or whenever we usually assemble ourselves for our own morning's feed and are a source of great fascination when our eyes still droop from the memory of sleep.
This painting is really a tribute to them, I chose to paint a female sparrow as the gold band that frames their intelligent eyes is breathtaking in the morning sun.
This wall art is available to purchase framed or unframed.
Paul Ward is a painter and printmaker whose work blends lyrical storytelling with a fierce love for the natural world. Based in France, they have built a career creating portraits, commissions, and evocative works that confront unsustainable practices while celebrating the beauty of animals, plants, and wild places. Driven by equal parts fury and wonder, their art champions the “little guys” — from pigeons to forests — reminding us of what’s worth protecting.
