A puffin drops straight toward you, wings spread wide, those vivid orange feet splayed out below like a tiny, joyful landing gear. The black and white plumage blurs into the pale blue background, the brilliant red-orange bill and feet the only sharp colour in the frame. It’s impossible not to smile — there’s something gloriously ungainly about a puffin in full descent, and Rosie Smith has caught it perfectly.
Free Falling is part of Rosie Smith’s Untamed Rhythms series — a collection of wildlife paintings that capture the raw energy and movement of the natural world through bold colour and expressive brushwork.
Rosie Smith is a UK-based wildlife and conservation artist working in watercolour and oils, whose paintings capture both the beauty and vulnerability of the natural world. A finalist in the David Shepherd Wildlife Artist of the Year and Sketch for Survival, she is committed to using art as a voice for conservation — contributing work to projects including the Big Elephant Auction with Explorers Against Extinction. This giclée print is taken from one of her original oil paintings.
