'Akepa

Aloha, come see my latest island tiny creation.  


'Akepa 1"x1" acrylic on board in hand carved frame.  


Here's a close up of the actual painting. Doing a 1"x1" can be interesting, it's pretty small, and I need to use smaller brushes than I have been using. I'm just so cheap I never buy my self  new materials.


The 'Akepa is an insect eating endangered honey creeper. This one is a male, you can tell by their bright orange plumage.  The females are a dull grey in their coloration.


Here's a picture to give you some scale , a nickle would fit in that 1"x1" square.  As always I hand carve all my frames and make them from  reclaimed wood.
