A species of tropical bird with ‘prehistoric’ features found in Amazonian swamps. Chicks have primitive claws on their wings and if threatened will flop into the water, where they swim well and can clamber back up another tree to safety. Their digestive systems can ferment plant matter, causing them to give off a foul smell - 'Stink birds'.
An acrylic and mixed media painting where I used clingfilm, grasses, and skeleton leaves to make organic background shapes, some of which lower down I developed into imaginary fishes. The birds were painted onto the background towards the end.

Most of my paintings are acrylic on paper or board.
It will be sent either rolled in a secure tube or mounted in a white or cream mount 5-6cm wide, with mountboard backing to protect it in the post. It can easily be detached from this to be re-mounted or framed as you wish.
I have not so far been asked to accept a return, and paintings are quite easily damaged unless carefully packed, but if you are not happy with your purchase, I am willing to discuss it.
Postage by Standard Royal Mail is FREE.
