Ornithology Plate Series - the Lilac Breasted Roller LIMITED EDITION

Description

This is a limited edition print (run of 50) of my original digital art-work.
It measures approximately 8 x 10.25 inch (or approx. 20x26cm) and is professionally printed (not on an ink jet!)fade and smudge proof-on 300grams paper with a small white edge so it's ready to be framed.

I am fascinated by the old fashioned ornithology books. This lead me to placing the birds in the same setting. Ancient Plate version 2009.

This bird is like the tabloid star of African birds. It is the most photographed bird of Africa. The lilac Breasted Roller is quite comfortable with all this attention she gets. Everyone visiting Africa will be amazed by the amount of colours her feathers have and the length of her tail. The Dutch word for the family of birds she belongs to is Scharrelaar which also means something like hanging about here and there and not doing all that much. That also fits the description of the most photographed person in the human world these day. I am not saying any names

Check for more: http://moremirthquake.blogspot.com/ you can read how I make them. This is not an altered photo.

Other sizes are available, just convo me and I'll quote you a price. This may take a little longer to ship since it's a special request.
I love to recreate animals and especially birds. No matter where I am, I try to capture their caracter and lifestyle. When I get home I translate it into art-work. You'll receive a MirthQuake Bird Certificate with the artwork. The print will be numbered

If you would like the design for a custom made set of invitations, menu cards etc? Please convo me.
