Chester doesn’t do subtle. This close-up crop puts you right in front of a bird with fiery red feathers, deep blue eyes ringed in gold and turquoise, and a big curved beak. The dusty purple background makes every one of those colors pop.

Painted by hand in acrylic with bold, confident color, Chester is part of my whimsical bird series — but he’s the extrovert of the group. There’s something almost regal about that stare.

He brings energy to a space, so he’s great over a desk, in a creative studio, on a colorful gallery wall, or anywhere that could use a jolt of personality. A fun gift for the boldest person you know.
