Irish Puffin – Saltee Islands – Painting

Irish Puffin Painting

Lovely day at the Saltee Islands in the south of Ireland. There’s where I patiently waited for this cute little bird to come to the nest.
Finally landed on the edge of the cliff, after a fishing trip to the ocean, to provide for the chick.

Every summer puffins return to the same nest with the same mate to raise a single chick.
They don’t nest on a tree. Their nest is a hole they dig on the cliff: a home with a stunning view of the ocean.

This painting is for this Puffin. To capture this very moment before entering the nest to deliver the food.
