Huia

Huia, such a beautiful bird with such a sad ending. Here a stunning female huia perches precariously on a branch. One of our beautiful natives who became extinct with the arrival of European settlers to New Zealand. One of the special things about this species was the fact that males and females had different shaped beaks so they could inhabit different niches in the ecosystem.

Subtle shifting hues of prussian blues, brown, umbres and blacks have been layered up to capture the different hues within her glossy plumage.

She has been carefully painted using traditional watercolour techniques, then professionally printed using archival inks on Hahnemuhle William Turner 310gms cotton rag paper. This particular paper is just gorgeous, it has the appearance of water-colour paper and has been specifically created for longevity when used with pigmented inks.

Your treasure will be shipped to you carefully encased in cellophane (you can put this in your compost) and posted within a sturdy reinforced envelope to prevent it from being damaged in the post.
