Description
This small painting of Inca Terns (Larosterna inca) shows two adults and, in the back, one immature. The species is native to much of the Pacific coast of South America, from about the Ecuador-Peru border, south, and is somewhat migratory. The Inca Tern is probably the least like other terns of any species of tern, the most distinctive features being the odd slender white feathers on the sides of the head. These plumes do not lie flat against the head, but curl outwards, like a pencil-thin waxed moustache. The beak is bright carmine and there is a yellow wattle at the base of the beak, below and a little in front of the eye. This piece, in acrylics, is approximately 12” X 16”, on compressed hardboard. Using richly warm colours, I tried to imply, rather than graphically portray, a hot, arid, sun-washed Peruvian beach setting. Originally this was just to be a study, but I got carried away with the pleasure of portraying such fascinating birds and made it into a small painting, approximately life-size. $450.00
