Freshwater Wetlands Belted Kingfishers
Location in the view: Second Column, middle
Description : Belted Kingfishers have an air of self-importance about them while they patrol up and down rivers and ponds. Females with double belts of blue and brown across their chest have brighter and more attractive colors than the males. Wanting to depict this, I tried painting the judgy stares of the ladies sitting on the trees while one of them takes a dive to catch a fish. The bright colored Aspen trees in the background only makes the scene look more alive.
Materials : This is an original mixed media painting on Tan Red colored handmade paper, with gouache, embroidery threads and beads . The size of the painting is approximately 5" x 7" and is mounted in a float frame. The overall size of the frame is approximately 6"x 8". It comes varnished with 2 coats of Krylon Kamar spray varnish to ensure protection from sunlight over time.
The frame is handmade in my home studio from pinewood and has been painted the same shade of Pink in gouache paint with couple layers of Krylon spray varnish and two layer of Liquitex Matte varnish. It comes in two parts that are attached with screws on the back. If ever need be, the painting can be detached from the outer frame by removing the said screws.
Artist's signature with the date on the side and back of the frame.
