Middle Spotted Woodpecker, Watercolour Painting

 A Middle Spotted Woodpecker grips the trunk of a tree in this beautifully observed watercolour painting. The artist captures the bird’s distinctive red crown, speckled black-and-white wings, and warm russet tones along its back with great care and precision. Each feather is delicately painted, highlighting the bird’s unique markings and natural textures. The woodpecker’s curved claws and poised stance convey a moment of quiet alertness, as if it has just paused mid-climb. Set against a softly blended green background and a richly textured tree trunk, the scene feels both peaceful and alive with detail. This watercolour painting reflects a deep appreciation for the quiet elegance of forest life and the subtle character of this woodpecker.
