Oystercatchers miniature watercolour painting

oystercatchers miniature painting 'Oystercatchers' © Tracy Hall 2009
1.75" x 2.25" watercolour on board
(shown enlarged with penny for scale)

The fields and verges here have been busy with nesting oystercatchers in recent weeks, with one pair choosing the tattie field for the second year running (they hatched two chicks but only have one left). In this painting I decided to put them back on the shore because that is where they are most usually found when they aren't nesting. And I like painting stones :)

Above is a photo of the painting framed, fairly near to lifesize; the whole thing measures 3.75" x 4.25" (a miniature painting can fit in the palm of your hand).

Thanks so much ladies, I'm pleased you all like it. Beach stones are quite irresistable aren't they. Back soon with a collared dove :)
