This small watercolor is inspired by the greater mouse-eared bat—a species once believed to be extinct in the UK, until a single breeding pair was rediscovered in London.

Painted in soft grayscale washes, the bat emerges gently from the paper, a symbol of resilience, patience, and life continuing in unseen places. Flecks of color drift through the white space like night air—subtle reminders that survival often happens quietly, without spectacle.

One of a kind, handpainted original, Signed and stamped by the artist. Comes in 4×4” wooden frame (as pictured).
