seabird art print

Loré is a visual artist living with her husband and three daughters in the northern woods of Vermont, USA, tucked between a mountain and a river in what they fondly call Cold Hollow. For her illustrations, she draws inspiration from the magic of childhood, the natural world, and the wonder of everyday parenting: "It always amazes me how a bit of yarn, a stick, and an open place to move is all you need to activate the magic of imagination." Currently, she is working on her own book of children’s illustrations.

Seabird is a 25x20cm reproduction of the original gouache painting, printed with archival inks on cold-pressed watercolor paper to create a museum-quality print, resistant to fading and yellowing. Living by the sea is a scene most of us here in Norway can associate with. It is also common to see seabirds in flight and, in spring, to hear their calls every day as they find their place to nest. I love the details in this image, the drawing of the whales, the fresh coat of paint on the toy sailboat, the book Swallows and Amazons by Arthur Ransome, the wind in the lace curtains.
