Description
These gentle birds are found in shallow wet land areas where their primary source of crustaceans and invertebrates can be located. Generally, they are black and white, but achieve the rust color on their necks during nesting season.
This etching is hand-made on 5 large copper plates, each plate containing different colors. In addition to the Rives BFK rag paper used for the etching, the inks and paints employed to create the etching are of the highest quality. To have all the plates register (the images lining up when hand printing) is a technical task of engineering proficiency. Two weeks after the ink dries, another 2-3 hours of hand-coloring is required to finish the piece. Because of all the hand work involved, no two pieces are exactly the same. The etching has a 2” border of paper around the image with a beautiful, deckled edge. Image size: 27” x 21” *PRICE IS FOR UNFRAMED ART. FRAMED PRICE LISTED BELOW*

Residing in sunny Florida gives me ample opportunities to experience these birds firsthand. Through my art I hope to share these complex species, living dinosaurs that have evolved into jewels of nature. Years of birding have perfected my attention to detail.
My etchings are handcrafted with engineering, skill, and creative inspiration. Each one is handmade, then hand painted with transparent watercolors with the finest materials.
I start with a copper plate which is my canvas, and finish with a timeless interpretation of nature.
