Canns Down Press A Bird in the Hand is Worth Two in the Bush Greeting Card Gift Card

"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" is an ancient Greek proverb that means it is better to be content with what you have than to risk losing it by trying to get something better. The phrase has been in print since the 16th century, with an example from 1530 reading, "Better one byrde in hande than ten in the wood."

International selling British artist Rebecca Campbell lives and works in London. She trained as an illustrator and this has led to her unique, narrative style of work. Her paintings have been described as “delightful, enigmatic and highly imaginative. They have an impeccable sense of colour and design, coupled with a touch of humour. Rebecca’s world is one of variety, eccentricity and joy.” Her influences are eclectic: a love of nature came from growing up in the Irish countryside with a menagerie of animals and birds, as well as being surrounded by the most beautiful gardens. She has travelled extensively; the biggest impact came from her three months spent in India, seeing first hand the Mughal miniature paintings with their rich earth colours, bold design and exquisite attention to detail. These influences remain the bedrock of much of her work today.
