An osprey carries its wings high on the downstroke, and I painted this one at exactly that moment: wings raised over the back, white head and chest forward, yellow eye fixed on the water below. The feathers are dark indigo and burnt umber laid on in long strokes, with blue splatter around them for spray. Ospreys are back on rivers and coasts across Europe and North America, and this print is often ordered by people who watch a nest near home. One collector hung it in a restaurant.
Why it is a limited edition
Each print is made in an edition of 150, and I sign and number every copy in pencil under the image. The edition is small so that every copy can be made properly: the file is scanned from the painting itself, printed on museum-quality cotton paper with archival pigment inks, compared with the original in daylight and corrected until the colours match, and only then signed. When the last copy is sold, the edition closes for good.
Paper, inks and sizes
- Archival pigment inks on acid-free, museum-quality watercolor paper, so the texture of the original is kept
- Framed canvas options in a black wooden frame, ready to hang
- 15 sizes, from 8 x 10 in (20 x 26 cm) to 40 x 55 in (100 x 140 cm)
- Small sizes ship flat in rigid cardboard, large sizes rolled in a hard tube, worldwide with tracking
The frame is not included unless the option says Framed Canvas. Not sure which size fits your wall? Write to me with the width of the furniture under it and I will suggest one. Reproduction rights remain with the artist.

The osprey print was beautiful, perfect, high quality, and exactly what I was hoping for! It was a wedding gift for my father-in-law and his wife. We framed it and included their names and the wedding date in the matting. I’m so glad I found it. Incredible artist!
