The Real Sir Peeps

 

Like Senay Studio, I came across Marvindale’s gorgeous, whimsical paintings at the One of a Kind Show in Toronto. As a wintertime birdwatcher, I love Cori Lee Marvin’s watercolours that include inquisitive birds.There is so much detail in these pastel watercolours, and the subject matter is a cheeky juxtaposition of living creatures in the still-life settings of what I imagine to be a country cottage. I also appreciate how she portrayed different birds, from colourful robins and goldfinches to more sombre crows, juncos and sparrows.

Cori Lee Marvin’s pieces are available on her website as originals, limited edition prints, or even just art cards.

Here are some of my favourites bird paintings:
