The story behind the print

This unframed paper print features a red kite in mid-flight, its wings fully extended to show a detailed pattern of red and cream feathers. The bird is set against a solid teal background with a single small cloud near the top edge, and the illustration uses a restricted two-colour palette of deep red and off-white.

The composition places the kite diagonally across the frame, with the head turned to the right and the tail fanned out behind. The feather work is drawn in a vintage illustrative style, using repeating scalloped and striped motifs across the wings and body rather than photorealistic shading. This gives the bird a graphic, almost decorative quality.

Supplied unframed, the print is produced to order in the UK on 270 gsm premium satin paper using a 12-colour Mimaki UCJV300-160 printer with authentic Mimaki OEM inks. It is rolled and packaged by hand and available in multiple sizes through the Size selector. The red kite subject and teal background make it a suitable choice for a living room, study, or hallway wall.
