When I was a child, birds held a captivating allure for me, particularly after witnessing Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds." The film depicts a tranquil town besieged by wild birds, leaving an indelible mark on my psyche, simultaneously instilling both fear and fascination.
Did you know that Birding is a cherished pastime for many? It involves the joy of observing, studying, and documenting avian species in their natural habitats.
In my artistic pursuits, birds initially captivated me as subjects before landscapes took precedence. However, I found myself hesitant to delve into the intricate details of feathers, fearing it might detract from the therapeutic nature of painting. After all, art should be a source of solace, not stress.
In my view, the finest bird portraits are those rendered in silhouette, where minimal detail allows for a captivating simplicity.
