A solitary kingfisher sits poised and alert, captured in a swirling, dreamlike blend of texture and light. The Quiet Perch was painted by Hope Blakely during a 2024 workshop in England with renowned artist Marion Dutton. While the design was introduced in class, this is Hope’s unique interpretation — a one-of-a-kind piece finished in her signature mixed-media style.
Layered with acrylics, alcohol inks, oils, and shimmer paints, the painting glows with depth and quiet energy. A handcrafted Florida wood frame completes the piece with natural warmth.
