Birds of the World by John Lambie
Explore the world of birds through the watercolour paintings of artist John Lambie. Inspired by his love of wildlife and extensive travels, John's work captures a variety of bird species, bringing their character, detail and beauty to life.
Having graduated in Architecture in 1976, John spent much of his career working in the profession before retiring in 2018 to focus on painting full time. He taught himself to paint during the architectural recession of the early 1990s and has since exhibited his work at a number of prestigious venues and exhibitions, including the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours and the Royal Watercolour Society.
John's current passion is painting birds, an interest perhaps influenced by his hobby of gliding, where he spends time soaring alongside gulls, kites and buzzards over Bedfordshire.
Drawing on influences ranging from Victorian garden painters and Orientalists to contemporary photorealism, his paintings reflect a strong appreciation for craftsmanship, detail and traditional watercolour techniques.
Come and discover John's collection of bird paintings in our gallery, included in admission.
