Belted Kingfisher, Swamp Sparrow, Iris Pseudacorus ~ "Nature's Mastery" ~ "Songbirds & Friends" ~ Giclée Print
From the Collection Songbirds & Friends
Some mornings the river gives you everything at once. A Belted Kingfisher holds still at the water's edge, rattling, watching for the flash of a fish below. A Swamp Sparrow keeps to the reeds nearby, quiet and unhurried. And the yellow flag iris stands over all of it, opening into the wet light. This is the kind of moment that started 'Songbirds & Friends' -- you walk in slowly, you listen, and if you are patient, the whole scene arranges itself in front of you.
I painted it the way I paint all of these: wet-on-wet, in layers, with no drawing underneath -- just sketches, instinct, and years of learning how a kingfisher carries itself at the river. The three lives in this piece each keep their own rhythm, and the work is letting them share one quiet stretch of water without crowding each other.

Printed from original watercolors in Holly's Pawtucket, Rhode Island studio.
Materials: Prints of my original, handmade pieces are made using only archival inks on heavyweight archival rag paper by Moab designed to last a lifetime. Learn more about my materials and process.
Framing: All work is elegantly framed in pristine white handmade wooden frames. The frames are 1.5" deep and handcrafted from solid wood by my favorite local framer.
A Note About Your Print's Edges: Each print arrives with a thin 1/8" white border all around—this bit of breathing space ensures that more of the image remains visible when framed, as standard framing techniques can obscure the edges.
If you prefer your image printed edge-to-edge without this margin, simply add a note with your order requesting "full-frame printing" and I'll happily accommodate.
My promise is to deliver your art exactly as you envision it in your space.
