Long-Tailed Tit, Green & Orange (II) – Original Painting by Heidi Langridge

Heidi Langridge long-tailed tit green orange artwork ‘Long-Tailed Tit, Soft Green & Orange (II)’ combines the delicate presence of its avian subject with a bold sweep of expressive colour. Soft green and turquoise tones create the surrounding field, while saturated orange brings warmth and movement into the composition.

The contrast between the bird and its setting is central to the work. Heidi Langridge observes the long-tailed tit carefully, but allows the surrounding habitat to become looser and more abstract. Rather than describing leaves and branches precisely, broad painterly forms hint at the natural world while keeping the bird firmly centre stage.

This balance between recognition and suggestion is characteristic of Heidi’s practice. Her paintings celebrate the beauty of birds while also considering the way we interpret their posture, personality and relationships.

Working from her home studio on the South Downs for more than 17 years, Heidi draws inspiration from the landscape and coastal life around her. She is interested in bringing birds closer into our lives and encouraging viewers to appreciate their individuality as well as the fragility of the habitats they occupy.

The palette in this artwork gives it an especially contemporary energy. Soft green and turquoise provide freshness, while orange adds a warm visual rhythm that draws the eye across the composition.

This long-tailed tit green orange artwork is created on board, framed and measures 30 x 30cm. Its intimate scale makes it easy to position in the home while still allowing the confidence of Heidi’s colour to make an impact.

Available from KATA in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, Long-Tailed Tit, Green & Orange (II) is a joyful original for lovers of British birdlife and contemporary art.
