Common Loon Original Painting (on display at EARP Distilling Co.)
Common Loon Original Painting (on display at EARP Distilling Co.)
This 59×76.4 cm original watercolour painting of a loon was created for a display currently being shown at the EARP Distilling Co. in Carrington NSW (April 1st-May 31st, 2026).
I decided to paint a range of unusual birds, including the common loon, magnificent frigate bird, blue-footed booby, Atlantic puffin, shoebill and secretary bird, because illustrating bizarre species is both my passion and job!
I painted this artwork over numerous days, tallying up at least 20+ hours of work. During that time I had to remain hyper focused, as it is important to not make any mistakes when painting with watercolours (due to their unforgiving nature). I also had to remain hyper vigilant so that I didn’t accidentally drink my dirty paint water instead of my coffee…
To top it all off, the frame is from a local framer, Aaron Framed It, who is based in Georgetown. Making it entirely created within the “Newcastle” area.
Due to the large size of this artwork and it’s fragile nature, I will not be posting it after purchase.
A pick up/drop up time within the Newcastle region (and outskirts) will be arranged once the art display has ended (after May 31st).
After purchasing this artwork, I will contact you directly to organise delivery/drop off of the piece when the exhibition has finished (after May 31st). You may not take ownership of the artwork until this date.
In order to do this, please provide accurate contact details in the section below. If I cannot reach you within a timely manner, you will be refunded and I will re-list the artwork for sale.
