This 5 X 7” original oil, titled “Scarlet Tanager” will be offered soon! Framed in a custom 13 x 10.75 x 1.5 in antiqued copper and black frame, it is a tribute to native birds of the southeast U.S.

Flitting through the coastal forests and shrublands of North Carolina it is one of the region's most striking songbirds. With feathers as vivid as a sunrise, the Eastern painted bunting stands out brilliantly against the lush green backdrop of the southeastern United States. Often described as a "flying rainbow," the adult male sports an unmistakable plumage of electric blue, lime green, and fiery red, making it one of the most colorful birds in North America. However, despite its dazzling appearance, this species faces serious threats and is a Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) in North Carolina.
