My son wanted me to do a colourful painting of some birds. Obviously, the choice was bee eaters as they have more than one colour in their plumage. Then how to make it colourful was my choice. So here it is. Another painting in oil on canvas.
The bee eater is set against a colourful background, which is unusual as they are generally seen in flocks on trees without leaves or on the ground to have a mud bath. This painting may look little surrealistic, but it does enhance the feel of the painting, especially with some berries studded in between. It also presents the notion that these birds are attracted to fruits besides bees and insects.
