Pigeon, Columba livia
Lyme Regis, where my studio is based, is home to a tidy band of pigeons. Congregating around the mouth of the River Lym and the nearby sea walls they can be seen and heard cooing, preening and resting in the sun. The clatter clapping of wings signal a flock that has burst into flight, normally circuitous before resettling. Keep an eye out for any racing pigeons that have gone feral.
Progeny of the wild Rock Dove, they sport many shades of colour – thunder cloud, coal, slate sky and wood smoke, as well as magnesium white, reddening brown and coffee in the lighter birds. Many carry a scarf of purpling green iridescence on the neck, a unique identifier that other birds see.
This is a Giclée reproduction of an original graphite pencil drawing, printed on archival grade, professional Hahnemule Photorag 300gsm paper. It is supplied without mount or frame. Framed prints can be arranged at extra cost, please contact the studio to discuss any requirements.
The original is also available for sale.
