Altamira Oriole

This striking watercolor artwork depicts a vibrant Altamira Oriole perched on a gnarled branch surrounded by bright yellow flowers and green leaves. The bird’s plumage is a vivid contrast of rich golden-orange on its head, breast, and belly against deep black wings with subtle white markings. The painting blends a realistic, almost photographic rendering of the bird with loose, expressive watercolor splashes of blue-grey and golden yellow in the background, giving the piece a dynamic, artistic energy. The overall composition is lively and luminous, with the warm yellow tones of both the bird and the blooms creating a harmonious and visually captivating scene.
