Arwen the Black Kite

Painting of a Black Kite bird of prey by Helen Frost Rich

The beautiful Black Kite is not a native species in the UK. This is a painting of Arwen, one of the birds at Kielder Water Birds of Prey Centre, in Northumberland. Arwen is quite a character who likes to steal people’s hats and fly off with them.

Many thanks to Ray and his team for letting me photograph and draw their beautiful birds. If you happen to be in the area, do go and visit.

11″x8″ watercolour and coloured pencil.

Watching the Raven, watching me.

Watching the raven painting by Helen Frost Rich

I recently discovered a pair of ravens nesting in a semi-urban environment, quite near my house. I’ve been back to watch them several times, and they are inspiring new art. Ravens are such fascinating and magnificent birds. Here’s the first of several raven-inspired works.
