Sonoran Desert Gambel's Quails
Location in the view: Third Column, bottom
Description : With chunky, round bodies and a feather plume on their heads, Gambel’s Quail are ground-feeding birds of the desert. Coveys of them would be found climbing on the thorny cacti and trees to access the leaves and berries. These birds were perfect to paint when paired with saguaros and prickly pear cacti.
Materials : This is an original mixed media painting on Yellow Ochre 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.
