Blue Tailed Bee Eater Original Acrylic Painting on Canvas Board

This is a painting of a blue tailed bee eater and the colors are just astounding!
It is sitting on a lichen covered branch in a field of purple and yellow flowers and wild grasses.

I wanted the bird to be the focus of attention, with just a touch of color in the background, so I purposely blurred out the flowers.
I like to paint in a combination of realism and impressionism.
I guess that is just a statement of my complexity, as even in my jewelry designs I use more than just one material and sometimes combine many different techiques and processes in one piece.
It is an 8"x 10" original acrylic painting on canvas board.
Sealed with a protective UV resistant matte finish
