Strutting Ruddy Turnstone | Original Watercolor Painting | Coastal Bird Art

This one-of-a-kind original watercolor painting captures a ruddy turnstone. Inspired by a photograph taken on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, this piece celebrates movement along the coast and reflects my love for the wildlife and natural beauty of the Gulf Coast.

Each original artwork from The BM Edit is created on archival watercolor paper and finished with a protective cold wax coating. Because every piece is individually painted, dimensions may vary and reflect the unique composition of the artwork.

This artwork features a painted composition with a natural white paper border, allowing the texture and quality of the watercolor paper to remain visible. The border provides flexibility for framing and matting options.

Packaging

Each original watercolor is carefully protected for shipping. Artwork is placed inside a protective cello sleeve with sturdy chipboard backing to prevent bending during transit and shipped flat in a protective envelope.

Care

To preserve your original artwork, display it away from prolonged direct sunlight and excessive humidity. If framing, I recommend using UV-protective glass or acrylic for added protection.

Every original painting from The BM Edit is created to celebrate the quiet beauty of the Gulf Coast and bring a small piece of nature into your home.
