The Very Clever Robin

From £2.00

15 in stock

Throughout the coldest days of winter, every morning when I started work and walked along the magnificent Long Gallery in Haddon Hall, an Elizabethan masterpiece of ornate plasterwork and carved wooden panelling, I spied the flutter of a little robin following me. He hopped from windowsill to windowsill, pecked along the floorboards, flew up to the cornices, and generally seemed to be enjoying what is reputed to be one of the most beautiful rooms in England. At first I worried that he’d got trapped inside, but then I spotted a tiny broken pane in one of the huge leaded windows with a few tell-tale feathers caught on the edges, and I realised that he most probably came in every night to sleep, preferring the high life to a hedge. One morning he posed perfectly for me next to the Christmas decorations, and I like to think it was his way of thanking me for not telling the wardens about his accommodation strategy!

This image is available for purchase as a greeting card, photographic print or canvas. 

Greeting Cards

My greeting cards are blank inside for your own message and suitable for any occasion. They’re square, 6 x 6″ (15 x 15cm), printed in vibrant colours on very high quality 300GSM card stock and supplied with an envelope. They arrive with you in a compostable cellophane bag to keep them clean in transit.

Prints

My photographic prints are all printed on archival quality Fuji Pro DPII Lustre professional photographic paper. Coated with a slightly stippled texture, they have a semi-matt finish with minimal glare. They are available in sizes from 6×6″ to 24×24″ and are supplied unmounted, ready for you to mount and frame to suit your decor. 

Please note that large format prints (14×14″ and larger) will be posted to you rolled in a tube for safe shipping.

Prints on fine art photographic papers are available on request; please send me a message for more information and prices. 

Canvases

My canvases are individually printed in the UK onto high quality 100% cotton canvas of 340GSM thickness, using a 12 colour process for richer tones and brighter whites. They’re hand-stretched onto European pine wood frames, and are supplied with fixings so that they’re ready to hang on your wall straightaway.

All canvases are available in a range of sizes to suit the space you have available, and in a choice of two depths. The 20mm edge canvas is slimline to fit beautifully against your wall, whereas the 45mm edge canvas is sturdier, chunkier and makes more of a bold statement in your home.

Sizes from 8×8″ to 36×36″ are available to order instantly here. Other sizes may be available on request.
