Inspired by Frankie Beane’s recent post featuring ATM I thought I would share some wildlife street art by the artist in the wonderful Leonard Lane. This thin lane that follows the boundary of the old city wall is festooned with natural history street art instigated by a project called ‘Human Nature‘. Some 18 artists including ATM and Stewy took part, and I have posted several works already in this blog.
My challenge was to demonstrate that ATM, although a specialist in painting birds, has also painted some stunning creatures, including this moth and beetle.
I stroll down Leonard Lane about once a week, hoping to see something new. Some of the works have been tagged and are getting a little ragged…maybe time for a revamp?

He gets a softness to his images that is just amazing. I think that is why his birds are so great. Last bird image is great too.

These are all really great, but I find the last image of the bird – is that a woodpecker? – really intriguing.

I think it is a hoopoe (spelling?) a European bird, only occasionally seen in the UK.

Yes. It is. I think the quality is caused by the paint wearing away.

The painted moth bears a resemblance to your lovely moth pictured on your blog.

It is nice when the forms or colours of a post complement the home theme. I think I might change the surround if I can find a good picture.
