I had so much fun creating this pattern. The little critter is a Jerboa—they look like miniature kangaroos but are actually rodents. With their big ears, they're just too cute. You’ll find them hopping around the deserts of North Africa and Asia.


This pattern is part of my Boho Desertscape collection which can be found at Spoonflower or search product code 19712438 for the large scale. Also available in Medium and Small Scales.

Splendid Fairy Wren No 3 in acrylics

I love how this one is perched on the branch—like he’s about to burst into song.

I actually painted this one last year but forgot to blog or list it—whoops!

Most of my time lately has been going into building my Surface Pattern design business and uploading new patterns to my Spoonflower shop. It has been full-on, but I have started to miss painting my birds. So going forward, I am planning to schedule in at least one painting session a month. 

Splendid Fairy Wren No 3 measures 7 x 5 inches and is painted on Colourfix Paper.

Many thanks to Patrick Kavanagh for the reference photo.

The painting is available for purchase through my Etsy shop.  To view the listing, please click here.
