This mixed-media painting, presented on 12x6 refurbished slate, depicts a Northern Flicker perched on a branch. The bird's body is intricately detailed with a cream-colored breast marked by distinct black spots, a black crescent on its chest, and a grey head. A striking red patch adorns its cheek, and its tail feathers show hints of silver and reddish-orange, capturing the bird's unique plumage. I have used paint to create a textured, almost feathery appearance, giving the bird a lifelike quality as it looks towards the right of the frame. The background is an abstract blend of muted greens, blues, and hints of orange, with visible brushstrokes and the natural texture of the slate showing through, adding to the painting's rustic charm. The branch itself is a key mixed-media element, appearing to be crafted from natural twigs and possibly adorned with small dried leaves, providing a realistic and tactile perch for the bird. This combination of painted detail and three-dimensional elements creates a harmonious piece that celebrates the beauty of nature and the artistry of recycled materials.
