#164 – Ray of Light

Looking for the sky, we see a perched oriole ready to take off. This painting was inspired by the orioles that migrate through my local forests during the summertime. While they love a hearty feeder, they flock to forests to find insects and other foraged foods in the late summer. They are marvellously vibrant and the contrast of their carbon black and cadmium orange feathers sets them apart from the rich green summer colours.
