New Painting!
I finally snagged myself some time today to get a painting finished. It’s titled “Couch’s Kingbird”. This extremely rare bird is found from southern Texas along the Gulf Coast to the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Couch’s Kingbird is virtually indistinguishable from the Tropical Kingbird, which occupies the same neotropical range, but the voices of the two differ consistently. To officially distinguish the species, vocalization would have to be heard.

I love her use of colours. Especially on this cloudy, dreary day here in Ireland. Click the images for more of her work or to purchase a print for yourself from her online shop.

New Painting
This is my newest creation. It’s inspired by the cutest little vintage owl figurine (a bank, actually) I ever did see.
And the figurine that inspired it…
