This was such a fun little guy to sketch. So playful - hopping in and out of the bamboo and flying back and forth. I wanted to paint him in all the warm colors: rich yellows, olive greens, burnt reds. I know it’s a weird thing to say about a painting, but I just love the belly of this bird, it makes me smile!

A mixed media piece on beautifully textured handmade paper, this painting has an ivory mat and is framed to an 8x10 lightweight white beveled frame. It comes ready to hang on your wall!
