Australian Wren Study; Superb Fairy-wren

"Superb Fairy-wren Study" – Original Painting
In this fast and expressive brush sketch, Geoffrey Carran captures the charisma of the male Superb Fairy-wren with confident, gestural strokes. Set against a soft pale yellow ground, the inky marks and electric blues of the bird's plumage leap forward, revealing the artist’s instinctive response to movement and form. Bold, raw, and full of character, this study celebrates immediacy — a modern take on a much-loved native species, and a striking addition for collectors of Carran’s looser, process-driven works.
