“A little bird told me…”
Little Birdie is that bird. She’s the cheerful square of colour on the wall who always seems to know what’s going on and never quite gives away her sources. Perched on a curling branch against soft sea-glass blues and warm biscuit tones, she has the look of someone who’s heard every family story twice and is quietly delighted by all of them.
For grandmothers, aunties, and the women who somehow know the news before the group chat does, this canvas reads as a friendly in-joke. The tiny dark eye, the firm little stance and the swirl of the branch all say, “Yes, I heard… but don’t worry, your secret is safe with me.” Hung above a sideboard, near the kitchen table or beside the phone nook, she becomes a gentle wink to visitors about how information really travels in this house.
In a nursery or baby’s room, the mood softens into something more protective. The colours are calm and coastal rather than sugary; the paint is laid on thick with a palette knife so the bird feels solid, almost toy-like, standing guard on her branch. She becomes the quiet watcher over the crib – not solemn, just steadfast – a little guardian keeping her eye on the newest member of the family while the grown-ups catch their breath.
Up close, the surface is all movement and texture: scoops of blue and teal, warm yellow on the breast, chocolate-brown curls of branch that echo old-fashioned storybook illustrations. From across the room she reads as simple and happy; step nearer and you see the ridges of paint, the tiny shifts of colour and the hand-worked feel that makes a piece of art feel alive. She suits bright white walls as easily as darker, moody rooms, and sits comfortably in cottages, apartments, and modern homes alike.
Little Birdie is an easy gift between generations – from grandmother to grandchild, from daughter to mother, from one “information officer” of the family to the next. Wherever she lands, she brings a light touch of humour, a sense of being gently looked after, and the feeling that someone kind is always awake.
