When the Birds Start To Sing (2024)Acrylic painting by Kris Mercer

"When the Birds Start to Sing" is a compact and captivating acrylic on board artwork, measuring 23x23 cm and framed in a white wood shadow frame of 26x26 cm.
Predominantly green fields are interlaced with vivid purple and orange sections, symbolizing diverse crops. Dark green borders hint at hedgerows, while the movement of winding paths introduces a dynamic rhythm to the scene.

The piece captures the beauty of the West Midlands as seen from above, where a patchwork of fields and farms forms a lively and textured mosaic. The use of vibrant colours and pronounced lines amplifies the sense of energy and depth within the landscape.
Both realistic and abstract elements coexist, encouraging viewers to explore the landscape's patterns and structures from a high perspective. The effect is both intimate and expansive, reflecting a moment of observation during a flight, where the familiar is seen anew, transformed by the view from above.

I can't actually hear the birds singing, but I imagine that they would be by just looking on that vista.
I mean, why wouldn't they?
