Rex Flood Watercolour Reed Warblers Nesting
We are pleased to offer this beatifully executed watercolour by the artist Rex Flood, who has signed the painting to the lower right. The painting depicts a pair of Reed Warblers (Acrocephalus Scirpaceus) on their nest, which is constructed by slinging it between two or three reeds, as shown. The Reed Warbler is a summer visitor to the UK and comes here to breed. The largest concentration of them can be found in East Anglia and the south coasts.
Rex Flood (1928-2009) was an aviation and wildlife artist. He ws in the RAF for 22 years at Coltishall in Norfolk, where he painted the emblem of 74 Squadron, a tiger's head, on the side of aircraft. He also painted aircraft and 6 of his paintings were purchased by the RAF Club in Piccadilly. RAF Cranwell also commissioned another 10 in 1969, before he left the Service. There is another in the National Collection at the Defence Academy of the UK.
He lived in Happisburgh for a number of years, where he began painting dogs, horses and, particularly, birds, with meticulous attention to detail. Latterly he lived in Yorkshire, where he died on 28th August 2009.
His auction results may be found at the usual sites and by putting his name into google to view images of his work. To view the one in the National Collection it is available at artuk.org.
