Futility | Watercolour Greeting Card

Futility is an evocative and dreamlike watercolour that tells a story without giving all of its answers.

A young girl stands alone in a vast, pale landscape, carefully holding a small red-breasted bird in her arms. Above her, another bird flies freely across the grey sky, while a stark, almost fantastical tree stands in the distance. The muted landscape contrasts with the vivid red of the birds and the girl’s hair, drawing the eye into this mysterious and quietly melancholic scene.

The painting has a distinctive contemporary, storybook quality, inviting the viewer to wonder about the relationship between the girl, the birds and the strange landscape surrounding them.

Reproduced from the original watercolour artwork, this A6 greeting card is blank inside, giving you plenty of space for your own message.

Whether sent to an art lover, a friend who appreciates something a little unusual, or simply kept as a small piece of artwork in its own right, Futility is a greeting card with a story and atmosphere of its own.
