Langham Collection — Tree Swallow Square European robins are confiding birds

European robins are confiding birds — they follow gardeners

running on nectar and tiny insects

Brings airy sophistication to bathrooms

scanning the horizon

I used Kissho Gansai pigments from Kyoto on archival cotton rag paper

Langham Collection — Tree Swallow Square European robins are confiding birdsThis Langham Collection bird print comes from a body of work I created for The Langham Hotel Boston a two year collaboration that placed my watercolors in the hotels guest rooms as permanent art in residence. The Langham selected four species blue jay, tree swallow, great blue heron, and belted kingfisher for their connection to New Englands natural landscape, and I painted each one specifically for the intimate scale and quiet light of a hotel room.
