About this painting:
This is a painting inspired by these magnificent birds and their inseparable relationship with the sea. Gannets were hit badly by Avian Flu last year, with thousands of birds succumbing to this disease born out of intense poultry rearing units in China.
This year, probably because of a degree of immunity they have suffered less, gull and terns taking the brunt of the cases this year. However on account of this decrease in the gannet population on visits to the coast we have been seeing single gannets more often, and for this reason I have titled this painting ‘Lone gannet low over the waves’.
