This listing is for an open edition Giclee Print of "Tree Swallows" an original Gouache painting by Erin Linton. Your choice of 8x10 or 11x14.

Tree Swallows are incredibly graceful fliers. Watching them as they glean insects out over a field or water is truly a treat. They are tiny exquisite creatures. Since they are a cavity nester they are relatively easy to draw into a nest box. I highly recommend putting up a box or two in your area! You can find out specific nest box sizes for tree swallows and other birds at nestwatch.org

I primarily paint portraits of the wildlife I encounter as a wildlife rehabber in Southern Oregon with gouache on a canvas layered with up-cycled pH treated tea bags. After being steeped and enjoyed, the teabags are dried and rinsed. The teabags are then soaked in a series of various baths, to remove acidity, and then rinsed and dried again. This tea bag background gives my original pieces a soft and warm feeling that I believe is very true to the animals I portray.

I scan my original pieces to achieve the best highest quality reproduction I can . I do all of my own giclée printing printing in house to insure each print meets my standards.
