“Gone Fishing” – Watercolour by Christina Newson
 
“Gone Fishing” captures the quiet patience and vivid beauty of a kingfisher poised above the water, waiting for the perfect moment to dive. Painted in rich layers of cobalt, turquoise and amber, the piece reflects both the stillness of nature and the anticipation of movement.
Inspired by tranquil riverbank mornings, this watercolour celebrates the artistry of light, texture and reflection. The soft background washes create a sense of depth and calm, drawing the viewer into the bird’s serene world.
Blending delicate brushwork with expressive colour, Christina Newson brings this fleeting moment of nature’s brilliance to life — a timeless reminder of peace, focus, and the quiet joy of the outdoors.
