New A E Ruffing "Black-capped Chickadee and Iris" Giclee Print

I've added a new 8 x 10 inch giclée print to both our web site and my Etsy shop. This giclée is based on my original watercolor painting "Black-capped Chickadee and Iris".

I painted this familiar bird looking alert and inquisitive, the way I often see him in the garden. He's a striking little bird, and I think the soft mauves of the iris make him look all the more dramatic, with his sharply-contrasted blacks and whites and grays. I set him against a pale yellow sky, with a deep blue-shadowed tree and distant woods of golds, greens, mauves, and blues behind him.

This giclée is a standard 8 x 10 inch image size, on 9 x 11 inch art paper, and is hand signed.
