European Starling, Shimmer in Stillness

Original European Starling watercolour painting by Charlotte Sutton.

Summary:
European Starling is a vivid fine art print celebrating one of the most underrated birds in Britain’s skies. Painted in layers of rich watercolour, the feathers come alive with iridescent blues, purples, and greens—resembling stained glass. This delicate painting brings colour, detail, and quiet wonder into your home.

The Story:
Often dismissed as common or noisy, starlings are in fact extraordinary creatures—intelligent, social, and dazzling when truly seen. In this portrait, Charlotte honours the overlooked beauty of the starling’s plumage: a living mosaic of shifting colour and intricate pattern.
Painted from a rear view, the bird’s wings and tail fold naturally around its body, revealing the artistry of nature’s design. There’s a sense of peace in the pose, a moment of pause before motion, of being entirely present.
European Starling invites viewers to reconsider what they think they know, to find majesty in the everyday, and to appreciate the wild shimmer that lives just outside our windows.

A note from Charlotte…
Charlotte painted European Starling in 2021 in her Bristol studio. It was later exhibited at The Waterton Gallery, London, as part of her Into the Light solo show. Charlotte’s wildlife work aims to evoke emotion, foster connection, and spark a sense of stewardship through beauty and storytelling.
