“The word ‘Halcyon’ is the ancient Greek name for the Kingfisher, due to the brilliant turquoise-blue colouring of these swift and shy birds, and this watercolour work was inspired by my regular sightings of these glorious creatures, along my local canal, on manyenjoyable occasions.
In this painting I’ve tried to capture the stillness of this ‘master fisherman’, as it waits quietly to catch a small fish. Ever watchful, and so very patient, this gentle bird fills me with joy whenever I see it, uplifting me with its fantastic shimmering colours and its lightning-fast flight.
Enjoying a ‘loose’ style of painting, I’ve used a selection of Daniel Smith high quality watercolours, and plenty of water to wash the colours together, and give subtle softness to the kingfisher itself.” Helen Worthington
