Expressive sketch portrait and humming bird by Artist Chris Shopland A3
Experience the raw and vibrant energy of this expressive sketch portrait paired with the delicate grace of a hummingbird, crafted by artist Chris Shopland on A3 paper. This piece emerges from my seasonal creative marathons, where I challenge myself to push my artistic limits, and also from moments of playful freedom—unleashing my inner child to explore, mark-make, and simply create for the joy of it.
Whether it's a detailed oil pastel or a quick, heartfelt scribble or just play like this one, I’ve learned that when art comes from the heart, it resonates. No matter the time it took—an hour, a year, or a lifetime—it remains a genuine expression of my voice within the work. This piece reflects both nature's magic and humanity’s beauty: the captivating female form, the vibrant hummingbird, and the wonder of existence itself. frame 32 × 44cm place holder for bespoke professional frame if you choose.
Explore this enchanting creation and connect with the essence of creativity and nature's marvels. None of this should exist and be possible, and yet life, existence, here we are…if you stop and think the mind boggles. a quote by one of my favourite authors sums this up beautifully:
The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be”
