This oil on canvas panel artwork depicts the quiet drama of a mist-soaked forest as a majestic red kite flies confidently through the shifting light. Inspired by the successful reintroduction of the red kite into the wild in County Wicklow, the artist sought to celebrate this remarkable bird’s return to Ireland’s skies.
Rendered in exquisite detail, the kite’s assured gaze draws you in, creating the striking impression that it is emerging beyond the frame and into the viewer’s space.
The background unfolds in atmospheric layers of soft blues and gentle greens. At the top, pale, fog-kissed tones set an ethereal mood; as the eye travels downward, the colours deepen into richer, more powerful hues, enhancing the sense of depth within the forest.
Painted with meticulous attention to realism, the red kite contrasts beautifully against the misty woodland behind it, giving the work a compelling presence and sense of movement.
Presented in a modern, minimalist frame designed to elevate the artwork without distraction, this piece arrives ready to hang.
Its dimensions 50 x 60 cm canvas and 64 x 74 cm including the frame, make it a statement artwork that can transform the atmosphere of any home, office, or creative space.
