Snowgazer - Original Unframed Illustration
★ Snowgazer ★
Original colour pencil illustration.
Snowgazer features a little robin redbreast perched upon a broken sapling stump, lost in his own little world as he watches snowflakes spiralling down from above. A favourite British bird, robins are shrouded in folklore and old tales, and have become legendary in numerous mythologies around the world. They have been given many symbolic associations throughout history, including charity, compassion, both good and bad luck, as well as fire and death. This early piece is now more or less retired from my shop, but I still think of him rather like an old friend - he always makes me smile.

A few notes on original artwork:
- My original artworks are variously available both framed and/or unframed, depending on the piece; for artworks where there is an option, please select your preference when adding the artwork to your basket.
- Due to their nature, original artworks may include blemishes, corrections, small paper creases and other similar imperfections sustained during the process of creating them; it's all part of their unique character!
- In a similar vein to the above note, original artworks are fragile; if you purchase an unframed original, I strongly recommend sourcing a suitable frame for it as soon as possible to protect the artwork and keep it looking its best.
- I have done my best to show the artworks' true colours in my photographs, but variations in lighting and your computer/device's colour calibration mean it may appear slightly different when viewed in person.
- I will only ship original artwork via Royal Mail Special Delivery, to ensure that it is fully covered for the value of the artwork.
