Luminous Lemon Finches

Above them, a dusty pink sky—softened yet ominously lit by distant forest fires—provides a luxurious, monochromatic backdrop that amplifies their striking presence.  Though painted larger than life, these birds would comfortably nestle in the palm of your hand, with space to spare. The piece merges contrasting textures: broad, expressive finger-painted strokes shape both the foreground and background, while the birds themselves are rendered with meticulous brushwork. This interplay between bold texture and fine detail creates a dynamic harmony between realism and the decorative arts, offering a tactile, layered experience.
