The symbolism of the nuthatch includes resourcefulness, adaptability, courage, and communication. These meanings come from its unique behaviours, such as climbing down trees headfirst, and its clever method of opening nuts by wedging them in a crevice. It can also represent joy, resilience, and the wisdom to put thoughts into action.
The background is painted with gold acrylic and the bird with oil and fine brushes.
