Curlew and Chicks
!!<by Robert E Fuller
Original Acrylic Painting
Framed size: 23" x 20"
Image size: 11.75" x 8"
About this painting. One day, I found a curlew's nest. They scare easily, so to put a hide up nearby I had to build it very carefully, putting just one piece of the hide together at a time. The day the chicks hatched I spent a full day taking photographs as they took their first wobbly steps - what a privilege! The following day they were fully mobile and looking for insects in the grasses.
