Northern Flicker in the Birches

A gallery-quality giclée inkjet reproduction of my mixed media piece Northern Flicker in the Birches. Expertly printed by Maine Photo Works in archival inks on Epson Legacy Textured paper, a 100% cotton fiber paper with a weight of 305 gsm that looks similar to a cold-press watercolor paper.

Northern Flicker in the Birches features a gorgeous bird species I often see in a nearby birch grove, flashing a vivid red spot, distinctive multicolored plumage, and a dotted breast. This is a yellow-shafted variety, also called a yellowhammer. Northern Flicker in the Birches is from a mixed-media series that combines printmaking and digital painting: Each piece begins with the organic textures of my hand-printed papers, which are collaged and recolored, before the fine details are painted in Photoshop. Every mark and texture is handmade, even if added digitally. Northern Flicker in the Birches is a companion piece to Cedar Waxwing in the Birches—their color palettes work together perfectly since each bird has pops of red and yellow and is posed against silvery white birches in the background.
