Little Wing is one of Catriona’s most popular paintings. This iconic image is reproduced on cards by Art Cards Cornwall and is also available as a signed, limited edition giclee print.
This beautiful, enigmatic painting has inspired writers and musicians alike. It features on the cover of the album ‘Ordinary Day’ by the British singer/songwriter Stella Homewood.
It has also been chosen by one of Germany’s largest publishers, Cornelsen Verlag to feature in a new elementary school art book – Religion verstehen 7 and Religion verstehen 7 LK + CD Rom.
Catriona has developed Little Wing into a series.
The writer Caroline Coxonwrote the following poem inspired by Little Wing.
Little Wing – by Caroline Coxon
She.
Dressed chestnut for autumn
Fallen angel
Floats in the air, between stillness and motion
Swept sideways, hair, nose, and shoulders
Insubstantial and substantial, both.
Dream of inception,
Dream of annihilation
The bird.
Lurks
Vicious and comforting
Brooding black, pretty pastel-winged,
Needle-beaked
Thought of aggression
Thought of protection
They.
Together.
Want for nothing.
