#194 – Catch Me

This violet hued grackle is catching the light in such a way that the opal-like colours of its plumage are revealed. In quick passing, these birds often appear a stark black. It is a treat to see their feathers illuminate with these iridescent colours, vividly contrasting their usual shadowy form. Ultramarine violet, pink, and teal make up its feathers. The foliage of its chosen branch is detailed in a cadmium yellow and pale cream.
