Spoonbill, 5x7

This is my favorite bird. It is beautiful, yet has a funny face that is a big spoon. There are a lot of contradictions like that in the bird world--like the albatross, so lovely, so graceful in the air, then it crash-lands and waddles away.

  1. This painting has fabulous color. At first you just see the beautiful pinks and violets. Then you realize that the yellow greens above and behind the bird play an important part in contrasting with the bird's plumage.
