The Gathering

This enchanting woodland scene depicts mice and birds meeting among oak branches, complete with acorns and autumn leaves. The characters, with their large expressive eyes, are given a friendly, human-like quality that makes the scene both whimsical and inviting. The soft light of the background contrasts with the warm earthy tones of the animals, creating a comforting atmosphere. The title ‘The Gathering’ evokes a sense of community and togetherness, as if the woodland creatures are coming together for an important discussion. The balance of detail and colour makes this a delightful piece that appeals to nature lovers and fans of storybook-style illustrations.
