FRANCES WOOD - watercolor painter
On any given day on Whidbey there’s a good chance you’ll see a variety of birds, with more than 200 species identified on the island throughout the year. Artist and avian writer Frances Wood takes note of their ample grace and variety of personalities.
Wood’s work shows her love for birds, with her delicate and accurate watercolors. In addition to her paintings, Wood has written “Brushed by Feathers: A Year of Birdwatching in the West,” which she also illustrated. She is also a former script writer for NPR’s “BirdNote,” and wrote a birding column for the South Whidbey Record, one of the island’s local newspaper.
Limited edition giclée prints
“Feather light, glowing with color, often in constant movement, the essence of birds is hard to pin down, let alone depict in paint and paper,” Wood writes. “Using watercolor and ink and allowing the white of the paper to be part of the image, I’ve attempted to show the lightness and flightiness of these ethereal creatures.”
All bird portraits are available as giclée prints in a limited edition of ten.
Many of the original watercolor and ink paintings are also available.
