A Flash of Turquoise

This delicate watercolour sketch captures a fleeting moment by the water’s edge, where a kingfisher’s brilliant blue plumage catches the light beneath the trailing branches of a willow tree. Loose, airy brushstrokes in fresh greens and soft blues evoke a sense of calm and movement, while the minimal background keeps the focus on the bird’s vibrant presence. A gentle celebration of nature’s small wonders, perfect for bird lovers and those drawn to peaceful riverside scenes.
