The Common Redstart is admired for its vibrant plumage and lively presence. This one, though, is a juvenile and his more muted coloring is perfect for a serene scene. He seems especially content, perched peacefully on a grey branch adorned with yellow moss. It looks as if he has noticed he is being watched but doesn't mind posing.
Measuring 6x6 inches, this acrylic painting is done on 3/4" Ampersand cradled hardboard and finished with a protective varnish. The painting is ready to hang, with hanging hardware already attached, but you could also frame it.
