Metallic European Goldfinch
Original Acrylic Painting by Sophie Parkhill | SP Wildlife Art
The European Goldfinch is one of Britain's most striking and elegant garden birds – instantly recognisable by its bright red face, black-and-white head markings, and golden wing panels.
Sophie’s original acrylic painting captures its vivid colours and delicate charm in exquisite detail, set against a shimmering metal leaf background that shifts between green and turquoise hues as it catches the light.
This artwork is part of Sophie’s brand new “Metallic Garden Birds” collection – a series of six miniature originals celebrating the character and beauty of our garden and local wild birds.
Each painting is created on a 12 x 12cm wood panel, presented in a floating frame with a subtle shadow gap, giving a total size of 15 x 15cm.
At £100 (including frame), this magnificent Metallic European Goldfinch makes for an affordable and radiant original artwork, perfect for bird lovers, collectors, or as a thoughtful gift to bring a touch of nature’s colour and joy into any home.
Currently undergoing its final varnish, this painting is available to pre-order now, with delivery expected within 3 weeks.

Reviews
I’ve bought several of Sophie’s original paintings, and this beautiful little goldfinch is to be a Christmas gift for my parents.
Not only is she a wonderful and talented artist but Sophie is a lovely person who goes out of her way to look after her customers. She has lots of other stunning pieces in local galleries and there are very affordable high quality prints too.
I 💯 recommend her gorgeous wildlife creations.
