Bird Oil Painting on Canvas Monet lit by sunlight filtering down

lit by sunlight filtering down from the surface

Its oversized ears tilt upward

where its woodland greens settle the room into calm

A narrow path of trodden snow leads into the heart of a dense pine wood

magenta and golden flowers that crowd the painted foreground

Bird Oil Painting on Canvas Monet lit by sunlight filtering downIn a bold folk art style, this vertical canvas portrays a toucan perched on a winding branch, its long beak banded in red, orange and cream like a painted carnival mask. The bird's dark body is filled with mosaic detail, scales, dots and stitched patterns picked out in blue, gold and warm earth tones, as if assembled from cut paper and layered pigment. A vivid yellow sky glows behind it, split by a band of deep cobalt and dotted with stylised leaves
