Storm petrel sketch | Limited edition fine art print from an original drawing.

Storm petrels are among the smallest seabirds in the world, typically weighing less than 50 grams. They spend almost their entire lives airborne over the open ocean, often thousands of miles from land, only coming ashore to breed.
Their characteristic feeding behavior involves 'walking' or pattering across the water surface with their feet, which is believed to be the origin of their name, a reference to Saint Peter walking on water.
Watching these tiny birds brave the vast ocean inspires a profound sense of respect for nature's resilience. I tried to capture that delicate balance—the powerful wing beats set against the endless void of the sea—in this monochromatic study
