A Blackbird Swoops DownInspired by blackbirds seen and heard along the Helford Estuary near Falmouth, Cornwall, this painting draws on the lush gardens that line valleys descending toward the waters edge. The bird is rendered almost as a Pentecostal dove from religious iconographyfalling from the sky, descending to the earth carrying its message. Acrylic on canvas by Simon Lewis Birch.
