Artist Nahla Bakr .This elegant watercolor on paper portrays a serene yet protective scene of a stork standing tall, watching over its nest. Perched on a weathered tree branch, the stork is painted with soft washes of gray, black, and white, with its vibrant orange beak adding a striking focal point to the composition. Nestled below, delicate strokes depict the vulnerable hatchlings, creating a beautiful contrast of strength and fragility.
The background, a gentle blend of turquoise and green hues, evokes a calming sky, enveloping the stork in an atmosphere of peace and natural beauty. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow enhances the bird's detailed form while maintaining the fluidity of watercolor, making "Guardian of the Nest" a captivating depiction of parental care and harmony in nature.
