This sweet House Wren, echoes its staccado calls against a beautifully detailed painting backdrop of ancient Egyptian stone relief. The colours are warm and earthy and the piece lends its calm energy to any space.
 
The detailed brushwork was done with layers of thin oil paint on cotton canvas, and it is beautifully framed with a black and gold wood moulding.
 
This Ancient Tableau series of paintings spanned almost 40 canvases, completed over a ten year period. This painting and a handful of others are all that are left available in this unique series.
