A short walk from my home, here, in North Devon lies the river Torridge. It threads its way through beautiful Devon Farmlands and historic villages and towns before meeting the river Taw and the Atlantic Ocean at Appledore, the river is an incredible source of inspiration for many local creatives.
A few weeks back while cycling along the tarka trail beside the river, flashes of bright blue caught my eye. I watched in awe and joy several kingfishers hunting along the river edges. They were darting in and out of the reeds and ship wrecks along the river banks. I couldn’t wait to get some composition ideas and studies down onto paper and eventually glass.
And here’s the finished ‘Kingfishers’, you can read and see more images of the kingfishers over on the purchase page.
