Inspired, as always, by life’s complex ecosystems. Titled ‘A Decision to be Made’ is literal and figurative and I hope it sparks some questions within you as to what it truly means to be a part of the ecosystem. We make decisions everyday and as conscious beings it falls within our power to make ones that matter most, that benefit the planet and it’s creatures. It is easy to be selfish…but what if we weren’t, who would benefit?
A lil background info on the species:
The Olive-sided Flycatcher, a bird classified under ‘Special Concern’ for at risk species here in Canada. In keeping with my local fauna, I thought why not shed some light on a bird that probably doesn’t get much attention. They are in decline du to habitat loss and prey decline. Why are they special or interesting? They are very territorial and are often found among burned forests because they can perch in more open spaces to hunt and catch insects. They also have a fun catch phrase for their bird call which sounds like “Quick three beers!” - google it if you don’t believe me!
Deets:
Artwork - 6” round watercolour, graphite, coloured pencil on 100% cotton archival paper
Framed to 10×10” (metal frame, glass - can be hung or has a tabletop option)
