Description
Tree Pipit, oil on canvas
Creation year
1981
The tree pipit is a rather inconspicuous migratory bird that has the habit of singing its striking songs high up in the treetops. It defends the boundaries of its breeding territory in this way. Fritz has turned this into a finely composed oil painting of branches, sky and the little bird. The narrow, tall format emphasizes the tree pipit’s peculiarity of singing mostly from a high vantage point.
