Common Grey, A Whisper of Wings

Original watercolour painting of the Common Grey Moth.

Summary:
Common Grey is a quietly striking watercolour painting celebrating the overlooked beauty of nocturnal pollinators. With translucent wing patterns, dusty greys, and faint lavender hues, this piece brings together the precision of scientific illustration with the softness of expressive watercolour. A gentle reminder to pause and look more closely at the unnoticed, this little moth adds grace and stillness to any wall.

The Story:
Drawn to its subtle palette and fragile symmetry, Charlotte chose the Common Grey as a subject to honour the quiet role moths play in our ecosystems. This piece is a tribute to the muted and the miniature—those tiny lives so often missed in favour of the spectacular. Each detail was painted with a fine brush, requiring patience, presence, and a steady hand.

A note from Charlotte…
Charlotte painted this moth in 2021 from a photo, after finding one resting perfectly still on a garden windowpane. Struck by how easily it blended into its surroundings, but once I began to really look, the colours revealed themselves—pale rose, soft graphite, even a whisper of violet. Sometimes the simplest subjects teach us the most.

Part of Charlotte’s watercolour series, this piece pairs beautifully with her Blue Underwing Moth and other pollinator studies—each one a quiet celebration of life’s delicate balance.
