Description
An original watercolour picture in landscape format, on Bockingford watercolour paper 90lbs.
A lone Turtle Dove is perched on a piece of electrical flex, close to an archway overlooking the Thames and Canary Wharf London. The archway is sealed by rusting chicken wire, preventing the dove from flying across to the opposite bank.
The Turtle Dove has declined tremendously in the UK, since the 1960s.
Changes to habitat, farming methods and not being as readily adaptable to change as other members of the pigeon/dove clan, has lead to it's rapid decline.
If only this image was true.
