Produktbeschreibung

Swoop Sing Perch Paddle brings together 132 screenprints by renowned wildlife artist Carry Akroyd, celebrating British birds in all their colour and charm.

Originally created for The Oldie's Bird of the Month column, Carry's vibrant prints transport us through the seasons and across the country, from coast to coast and through forests, fields, back gardens and town centres.

As a self-described 'bird-noticer', Carry's work reveals her keen observation of birds and their behaviour and her lifelong love of the landscapes they frequent. From a party of gregarious, seed-eating siskins to the poised peregrine perched high on a cathedral, each of her artworks is packed with personality.

Carry's joyful prints are accompanied by succinct, entertaining texts from John McEwen, her long-time Bird of the Month collaborator and co-author of A Sparrow's Life's as Sweet as Ours, and their beautiful new collection is a delight for birdwatchers and art lovers alike.

Carry Akroyd is a painter and printmaker living in Northamptonshire. Landscape and wildlife are her usual subjects, and as a keen bird-noticer, birds usually fly into her artworks. Accidentally becoming an illustrator, Carry has created black-and-white and colour illustrations for poetry collections, natural history books and many book covers. Her prints illustrate the long-standing Bird of the Month column in The Oldie, written by John McEwen. Carry and John's first book, A Sparrow's Life's as Sweet as Ours, was published by Bloomsbury in 2019.
