Painting - Acrylic On Compressed Hardboard
Description
To me the Phainopepla (Phainopepla nitens) is one of the most elegant of birds found in North America. The name derives from Greek, “phain pepla”, which translates into “shining robe”. They are the northernmost members of the family Ptiliogonatidae, or “silky flycatchers”. The plant the birds are in is the Desert Willow (Chilopsis linearis), whose range and habitat is largely the same as that of the Phainopepla. They occur from central California and southern Utah south deep into Mexico, often in dry, desert regions, including Baja California. The painting is in acrylics on compressed hardboard and is 12 by 9 inches.
