Plight of the Plovers
Piping Plovers are small shorebirds that nests and live along coastal and gravel beaches of North America. Their population is serverely endangered currently because of human intervention like coastal development, and energy harvesting projects. The idea was to paint a happy moment of a Plover mother and chick taking a leisurely stroll on the beach with no threat around.
An original mixed media painting on bright blue handmade paper, with gouache, embroidery threads and beads . The size of the painting is approximately 5" x 7" and is mounted in a float frame. The overall size of the frame is approximately 6"x8". It comes varnished with 2 coats of Krylon Kamar spray varnish to ensure protection from sunlight over time.
The frame is handmade in my home studio from pinewood and has the oceans extended on a matching background in acrylic paint with a single coat of clear water based varnish. It comes in two parts that are attached with screws on the back. If ever need be, the painting can be detached from the outer frame by removing the said screws.
Artist's signature with the date on the side and back of the frame.
