All That Glitters Is… Silver
Original Oil Painting on Reclaimed Artist’s Palette
Framed Size: 11 x 14 inches
Part of the All That Glitters… series, this original rook artwork explores transformation, material and the traces left behind by the creative process.
Painted on a reclaimed artist’s palette, the surface retains the marks of its former purpose. Pencil guidelines, wood grain and evidence of previous use remain visible, preserving the history of an object once used to create paintings rather than become one.
At the centre of the piece, a rook perches quietly against the warm tones of the palette. Surrounding it, hand-applied silver leaf spreads across the surface and frame, appearing almost weathered into existence. Rather than overwhelming the image, the silver interacts with the painting, catching light and shifting in tone throughout the day.
The cool metallic surface evokes moonlight, frost and weathered stone, creating a striking contrast against the deep blues and blacks of the rook’s plumage. The result is a piece that feels both contemporary and timeless, balancing natural history, wildlife observation and material transformation.
Mounted onto a black panel and presented in a contemporary black wood frame, All That Glitters Is… Silver celebrates both the beauty of the bird and the story of the object beneath it.
Ideal for collectors drawn to corvid art, wildlife artwork, natural history, dark academia interiors and original paintings created from reclaimed materials.
